So I watched Sorry to Bother You (2018) and so now I'll be marinating some thoughts about that movie for a while. I thought it was an amusing and fairly thoughtful film about class consciousness, which really goes some off the wall places with its magical realism/surrealism/bizarre sci-fi approach that nonetheless fit seamlessly into the more realistic elements of the story. I think the storytelling style definitely helps to add visual interest to the telemarketing scenes, which might otherwise be much more visually static. It takes a fairly lighthearted approach at probing its serious themes. I'll probably have more thoughts after I've had more time to think about it, but I just wanted to give some first impressions here.
