    Sorry To Bother You is unapollogetic, unafraid, imaginative.
    These are the reviews of audiences, and critics; its hard to find someone that didnt like this movie (unless youre going to burrow through the Rotten Tomatoes audience reviews, in which case Im 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 Bruce Block. Which is quite impressive considering the director (and writer) is a rapper with no background in film. But that story, what in the hell did I watch...

    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.

    A sharp satire that runs a little too long and takes a bizarre left-turn that will alienate many

    In my view, corporations are illegitimate institutions of tyrannical power, with intellectual roots not unlike those of fascism and Bolshevism.

    [...]

    We can - and should - certainly begin pointing out that corporations are fundamentally illegitimate, and that they don't have to exist at all in their modern form. 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__its? There aren't any. Everything is ultimately under public control.
