Sorry to Bother You (2018)

This was the most bizarre film of the year.
Cassius Green (Lakeith Stanfield) is a young guy who just wants a job and he finally finds one in telemarketing, especially after he finds his 'white' voice. But this isn't a typical world. There is a main group, organization called WorryFree which makes basically everything in the world but they use the equivalency of slave labor to do so. But Cash buys into everything as it is finally providing him the steady paycheck he needs to get ahead in life and it finally lets him get out of his scrap of metal car and out of his uncle's (Terry Crew's) garage. Unfortunately, by looking after only himself, Cash has turned his back on his friends, the strike and even his beloved fiance, indy artist Detriot (the amazing Tessa Thompson) dumps him.
It is at a party at the house of WorryFree's founder, Steve Link (Armie Hammer, never more bizarre) when Cash finally sees the light. He is given an offer most would never refuse but fortunately, he does. WorryFree is modifying people to make them, stronger and better workers by turning them into hybrid horse-people, which is disgusting and wrong. He is back on the front lines of the strike and right back to where he started, in his uncle's garage only to have an ending that will knock your socks off, in the most bizarre way possible.
While the plot is wild, it brings up many important issues such as how even assimilating doesn't work to your advantage and how no matter what you do, it will never be enough. You should always be true to yourself, as that is all that really matters. Fortunately, this odd, little film is boasted by its great cast including Steven Yeun as the union leader, Omari Hardwick as one of the other elite telemarketers, Jermaine Fowler as one of Cash's good friends and Danny Glover as the seasoned telemarketer who instructs Cash to use his 'white' voice while making the calls. Still, the film missed the mark as it wasn't funny, just super, super weird but the message was good and the performances were good. Needless to say, I'm glad the most popular show on TV doesn't involve people getting literally punched in the face. Grade: B
