I got to see it with AMC screen unseen, and being that it's a mystery movie I didn't know what to expect. It immediately grabbed my attention. The writer sitting on a panel with no crowd while in the next room an author with a book about her "black experience" gets all the attention and standing ovation. Later he went into the book store and his fiction novel is under African American studies and not in fiction like the aforementioned author was.

After his family has a tragedy, he leans into the genre and writes a novel that isn't like the rest. His publisher is skeptic at best but does agree to send it out, all while he has a budding interest with a neighbor who has actually read one of his books.

His mom is getting sicker and his brother isn't helpful but good news the publisher has great news! They bought the new book- even if it was written as a "joke."

Does he decide to "sell out" or stick to his virtues?

Definitely worth a watch! Makes you uncomfortable in all the best ways!
