LATE NIGHT WITH THE DEVIL takes the form of a […]Read On »

Rating: PG-13 Stars: Justice Smith, David Alan Grier, An-Li Bogan, Drew Tarver, Aisha Hinds, Michaela Watkins, Rupert Friend Writer: Kobi Libii Director: Kobi Libii Distributor: Focus Features Release Date: March 15, 2024 While they are very different films and likely didn’t know about one another’s development, THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF MAGICAL NEGROES seems like it would fit splendidly on a double bill with AMERICAN FICTION. AMERICAN SOCIETY is the more fantastical of the two. It’s also the gentler film, even though fear of violence is a more explicit topic here. The film, written and directed by Kobi Libii, begins with […]Read On »
