A brilliant, bonkers satire of the way Black people often have to contort themselves just to survive in America, Sorry to Bother You stars Atlanta standout LaKeith Stanfield (Get Out) as a starving artist who takes a job to as a telemarketer to make ends meet and finds his values compromised as he climbs the company ladder. But that description barely scratches the surface of the leftfield turn the film takes near its end, plunging off the edge from biting sociopolitical send-up to a surrealist mindfuck worthy of Buñuel.
