fun fact! armie hammer wasnt acting in this movie, he is criminally insane in real life
I can’t believe I’ve never seen a movie like this before. Not anything even close to it. Every frame of reference I have for what kind of movie this is isn’t enough, in plot or style or the gross, uncomfortable, energized way it made me feel. It’s the most insane movie I have seen in years.
This movie is so visually inventive and progressive in the most perfect, non-patronizing way and the biggest downside (aside from pacing, which might just be my own brain thinking any movie is too long) I can think of is that it’s very clearly made by a director who hasn’t directed before.

a millennial PUTNEY SWOPE, but a little weirder. and then a *lot* weirder. not sure if it totally sticks the landing and sells us on our own importance, but i sure enjoyed watching Boots Riley try. and hot damn is everyone cast to perfection.
also, for reasons that continue to elude me, i thought the bit where they have to enter the keypad combo in the fancy elevator was the funniest thing in the world.
Loved it. So inventive and refreshing. Great cutting, cinematography, music and performances. See it on the big screen.
Didn't realize until after the film that David Cross is Cassius's White Voice.
Looking forward to revisiting at some point. I'm sure a second viewing will be rewarding.
Saw at Pacific Grove Stadium 14 in LA.
