_Sorry To Bother You is “unapollogetic”, “unafraid”, “imaginative”._ These are the reviews of audiences, and critics; it’s hard to find someone that didn’t like this movie (unless you’re going to burrow through the Rotten Tomatoes audience reviews, in which case I’m sorry.) The cast is packed with familiar faces: Lakeith Stanfield (as Cassius) who also happened to be in _Get Out_, Jermaine Fowler who had just finished work on CBS’ _Superior Donuts_, Danny Glover from the _Lethal Weapon_ films, and Terry Crews. This movie had stunningly beautiful cinematography, and colors inspired by …

Such a great level of surrealism. I love when the setting is completely believeable, normal people, who could easily be from our world, but their's is totally weird. One criticism I will give is the imperfections in the dubbing, normally not a big deal, but dubbing is so absolutely **vital** to the story of _Sorry to Bother You_ that it is hard to get past. It was still a very pleasant surprise though, one I recommend, and one I particularly commend the core cast's performance in. _Final rating:★★★ - I liked it. Would personally recommend you give it a go._

Just as other oppressive institutions - slavery, say, or royalty - have been changed or eliminated, so corporate power can be changed or eliminated. What are the lim…

This film is about the way capitalism corrupts people & society in pursuit of unsustainable growth that inherently comes from exploiting the lower class. It uses a lot of absurdist & dark humor, both to reflect the absurd reality in which we live, but also to engage people with themes that aren't often discussed in film, at least not to this degree of honesty. While the film is overall quite cynical about the state of things, I thinm it's quite optimistic about people's ability to change things through individual & collective action, while still being honest about the barriers/issues may face …
