Review of Sorry to Bother You (2018) by Dufreshest — 13 Jul 2018

Sorry To Bother You: What Is Being Today? (Review).

Cinematography: 8.121/10 I sense jaggedness and lopsidedness which contributes greatly to the film's flowing story. This film forces itself to be a work of art deserving recognition. .

Costume Design: 8.499/10 The deluging of corporate culture throughout the film is comically shown through attire as the film progresses though hinges on stereotypes. If you've ever seen traditional corporate photos then the backdrop of many of the scenes might look familiar to you from an outside perspective. The idea is to look good on the outside despite the inner goings of a particular corporate model. .

Film Editing: 8.121/10 It seems intentional in moments though not intentional and then one realizes - there's something up with this picture. It's meant to be blatant though subtle.

Make-up and Hair-styling: 8.721/10 Consistent and revealing.  .

Sound Editing: 8.801/10 The eerie music should not comfort anyone. Sorry To Bother You completes itself by its use of sounds and voice. People should really be like - what is going on? and awfully suspicious from the sound alone which I think is really important to better understanding the film. The music is like a Siren singing. .

Visual Effects: 7.739/10 There's definitely a wow-hrmm factor.

Story: 8.999/10 Sorry To Bother You is funny and really deep. The overt comical and dramatic aspects might cause one to overlook the undertone messages each acting partner is riddling throughout concerning Africa, Resourcing, Outsourcing, Insourcing, Dating Culture, Corporations, Unions, Sexual Health, Food Development and Quality, Success, Economy, Friendship, Partying, and Ethics - to name a few. .

Acting: 9.092/10 All of the acting partners do a really great job making Sorry To Bother You an effective-funny film. There's a strong aspect of comedy which I appreciate especially when done well which I've only seen successfully done so many times. It's hilarious because it really happens in everyday conversation especially in public places. Have you ever seen Don't Be A Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood? Do you remember Toothpick? The actors in Sorry To Bother You really capitalize on these moments which I like to call Open Sidebars, insightful reprieves and transitions from another side of the story which is receiving heavy focus to another which is essential though not as tense (like the calm of a river - not the rush of the waterfall).

Personal: Sorry To Bother You plays on a lot of tropes (of which I mention in the Story section) without being redundant. A line and a song come to mind as I'm watching the film: "You can't be broke and happy, so me I'm mad rich" by Lil Wayne and "This Is America" by Childish Gambino. Interesting questions come to mind as I observe Sorry To Bother You (which is an appropriate title name because - obviously, there's a lot that needs addressing): How does one earn affluence? What does one do with their affluence? What types of culture are breeding at the expense of human choice and dignity? How much can anyone really afford to care about anymore? .

Sorry To Bother You questions purpose. I think there's a lot of good in the world and that I will be very wealthy with an aware-intelligent family. Only so many things last in a life anyway. Sorry To Bother You is a good film which I'll remember like Dazed and Confused.

Overall: 8.511/10.
