Sorry to Bother You

And this week's Friday night movie has been... Sorry to Bother You!

I once saw a video on YouTube wherein the YouTuber proposed that that the movie Sorry to Bother You was better than Idiocracy. Now I haven't seen Idiocracy - I have heard a lot about it and have so far resisted - but I did see a challenge in this claim. And one worth rising to at that.

And this......

....it's a strange one.
On one hand there is decent satire with some delicious jabs taken at race, privilege and businesses that overwork employees. The surreal humour is also quite funny and there is indeed a excellent sense of creativity.
But on the other hand, there is a lot of meandering and the film seem directionless at times. Sure there are some good laughs to be had but when the movie slows down, it can be a chore to get through.
So yeah, not bad but could've been better....
