Sorry To Bother You

This witty, subtle, nuanced satire of capitalism is not to be missed. The story of how Cassius Green (Lakeith Stanfield) parleys a telemarking job into overthrowing capitalism, in a way that seems totally unbelievable at first, is totally believable by the end. It’s a wry take on absolute power corrupting absolutely.

The plot of Green’s rise would look silly on paper, so just see the film. You’ll want to overthrow capitalism too.
