Movies at The Reg - American Fiction

  • 116 East 3rd Street Jamestown, NY, 14701 (map)

$7 per admission and $1 theater restoration fee per patron. Online ticket sales end 2 hours before movies and events.

Doors open at 6 p.m.

Nominated for 5 Academy Awards - Best Picture, Best Actor - Jeffrey Wright, Best Supporting Actor - Sterling K. Brown, Best Adapted Screenplay - Cord Jefferson, and Best Original Score.

American Fiction is Jefferson's hilarious directorial debut, which confronts our culture’s obsession with reducing people to outrageous stereotypes. Wright stars as Monk, a frustrated novelist who’s fed up with the establishment profiting from “Black” entertainment that relies on tired and offensive tropes. To prove his point, Monk uses a pen name to write an outlandish “Black” book of his own, a book that propels him to the heart of hypocrisy and the madness he claims to disdain.

Rated R. 117 minutes.

Admission requirements subject to change.
