Ranking December 2018's Movies From Worst To Best
4. Sorry To Bother You
Rotten Tomatoes Score: 93% (7.7/10)
Box Office: Boots Riley's $3.2 million surrealist comedy is one of the year's most impressive indie hits, grossing an insanely impressive $17.9 million.
Verdict: An ambitious satire of a high order, Sorry to Bother You wraps a fierce critique of race relations in contemporary America around a broader workplace comedy to highly entertaining effect.
Lakeith Stanfield is fantastic as the increasingly bemused protagonist in a film that's refreshingly unafraid to steer its story in some, uh, unexpected directions.
The insane third act won't connect with everyone, but as a barmy elevation of Riley's social commentary, it's a wonderfully peculiar payoff. This is just the movie America, if not the world, needs right now.
