Watched (Film):
Sorry To Bother You — Directed By Boots Riley and starring Lakeith Stanfield, Tessa Thompson, Steven Yuen and Armie Hammer, Sorry To Bother is an interesting and at times very blunt look at how capitalism intersects with race, gender and sex. Using interesting and at times shockingly absurd visuals, Riley provides viewers with a social commentary discourse unlike anything seen before.
