Review of Sorry to Bother You (2018) by Stephen K — 12 Jul 2018

Thank God for Movie Pass. I was already bummed that I wasted my time. If I had spent actual money for the tickets, I would have gone to my unhappy place.

I actually had high hopes for this picture, and -- truth to tell -- there WERE a few things to like. For example: using telemarketing as a platform to critique The System. Yeah, that has potential. Basically, however, Bootsy doesn't really know what he's doing, and it shows. So, I admire his ability to make something -- ANYTHING -- outside of Hollywood, but he's still got to keep his audience engaged for 100 minutes. I stopped rooting for the hero after the first act.
