Sorry to Bother You (2018)


IMDb plot summary: In an alternate present-day version of Oakland, telemarketer Cassius Green discovers a magical key to professional success, propelling him into a macabre universe.
Directed by Boots Riley. Starring Lakeith Stanfield, Tessa Thompson, Jermaine Fowler, and Omari Hardwick.

This is one of the wildest cinematic rides I've been on in awhile. It's hilarious and uncomfortable and startling and relatable and creative and bizarre and I liked it a lot.

4 stars.
