“Sorry To Bother You” is a film packed to the brim with powerful imagery and messages about society that, while great, may not be for everyone. Get ready for the rollercoaster of social satire! Act 1 of the film gave me exactly what I expected. The rest of the theater seemed to agree as laughter accompanied almost every joke on the screen.
