15 Most WTF Movies Of 2018

14. Sorry To Bother You

Sorry To Bother You Lakeith Stanfield Tessa Thompson
Annapurna

Boots Riley's absurdist dark comedy about a black telemarketer (Lakeith Stanfield) who adopts a stereotypical white accent in order to succeed at his job is at once a damning indictment of systemic racism and a bats*** crazy, increasingly disturbing nightmare of a movie.

It'd be criminal to spoil the movie's insane third act, but rest assured that having Stanfield's voice be dubbed over by the very, very white David Cross for lengthy portions of the film is just the tip of the surreal iceberg.

Riley fires off in countless different directions at once, and though the result doesn't always hit its targets perfectly, the creative satire on offer shouldn't be missed.
