The Academy nominates a few token films / actors every year, to showcase it's diversity. This is NOT one such movie.

That I got to see an almost perfect film about books, when the World Book Fair has kicked off yesterday in Delhi, seems divine provenance.

It is one of the funniest films of recent times, with an acerbic commentary about racism and the wokes' response to it, borne out of white guilt, as an undertow, across almost all its scenes.

Jeffrey Wright blew my mind with his portrayal of a black writer who pivots to give the readers what they wish to consume.

I have not laughed this hard, watching a film, in quite some time. It truly is heartwarming to see such films getting the recognition that they genuinely deserve.

Highly recommended.
