Hmm, interesting and quite the cast.

 

[Luigi]

Looks good. Lakeith has quickly become one of my favorite actors working today.

Can't wait to see it.

The red band trailer is also out now.

For “Sorry to Bother You” being the directorial debut for rapper-turned-filmmaker Boots Riley, the film is without a doubt his magnum opus. From the very beginning to the end, Riley stylistically sets the tone of his own world and creates his own set of rules by primarily showing off how lawless this world is. The story starts off light and silly but where it goes is absolutely nothing you would expect, especially if you’re going by the trailers. You think this movie is mostly about black people using a white voice to get up in the world of the working class, but boy are you wrong. ****, as bizarre as that is, that is just the basis of the first act. From there on out, you are treated to surreal and creative discussions centered on American labor, consumerism, race, wealth, fame, and so much more.

I swear I thought they had a screening this weekend... I guess I have to wait a little longer.

This is playing in select theaters (16 to be exact, most likely in the arthouse theaters of LA/NY) this weekend and going wide next weekend.

 

[Pennywise]

Checked if the film was playing at the theatre I usually go to, but it isn't. Really wanted to see this! Oh, well just going to wait to rent it!

 

[terry78]

Chicago has screenings I ay check out tomorrow. Apparently it's like a sci-fi Get Out.

Best movie I've seen all year.

It is more "magical realism" than science fiction (although there is some of that too), but it is overstuffed with allegory... and t somehow works. This is brilliantly cynical and aggressive social commentary laced with humor, rage, and despair. Its depiction of capitalism, what it is to be "white," and really just the entire middle of the movie where Lakeith moves up enough in his "white voice" to be invited to Armie Hammer's party... holy ****.

This is what great cinema is.

 

[terry78]

Went to see it after work....wow.


**** is just nuts. The climax is on some... I'll just say sci-fi ****.

 

[Black Narcissus]

Ya'll got me more hyped.

 

[Luigi]

Bring it.

 

[venom892]

This movie is balls to the wall crazy. Might end up in my top 3 films this year with Annihilation and Hereditary. It definitely can be compared to Get Out. Reminded me at Birdman at first with it's use of magical realism, but he gets much crazier than that film as it progresses. This is a movie that should be seen more than once. Riley seems to have packed it with a bunch of subtext.

 

[Black Narcissus]

What's the word on Tessa?

 

[terry78]

The running gag with her earrings is pretty good.

I legit jumped out of my seat when the horse people showed up.

My review

Spoiler

This movie is completely wild and out there. The first part of the movie feels like they took parts of Idiocracy and combined with Office Space. Boots Riley does an amazing job using his visual flare to tell a story and tackles themes like capitalism, consumerism, and racism. LaKeith Stanfield, Tessa Thompson, and yes even Armie Hammer did a fantastic job performance wise. And then the big reveal happens and it goes batsh** insane like Get Out but on drugs. It's that moment where it'll either lose you or you're completely in. If I have any complaints, it would be that there's some pacing issues. Overall, it's a bizarre yet fascinating movie.

8.5/10

I loved it, but I can see some people not being able to get into this. There were a few people in my theater who were not laughing at certain things I was.
