A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
A pointless adventure in the furtimhing of liberal Holywood's socialist agenda (while taking in millions themselves). No logic. Not based in anything but the writers agenda. Acting is OK.
Can't begin to describe how ridiculous and stupid this movie. The longer you watch the worse it gets. Then out of no where giant horse people with 2 foot long penises come out of left field.
I've never reviewed a movie on this site, but this needs to be heard. Absolutely unbelievable are the only words that can describe this incoherent mess of a movie. Please do not spend your money to watch this complete cringe-fest of a 'comedy/fantasy/sci-fi' film. This is nearly unwatchable it's just absurd; it conflates comedy with the broader social issues it's trying to take serious to resolve, and it nearly becomes unwatchable. I was shocked that it was released, and it's obvious why theaters and distributors aren't picking it up.
I'm not messing around when I say Sorry To Bother You is the eeriest comedy I've ever embarked upon. Its awkwardly bestowed, but in its favor, makes for an unforgettably odd experience. Boots Riley has invented something that feels violating yet strangely refreshing. (Verdict: B)
