Boots Riley went full surrealist satire with this one, and honestly, it’s a trip. LaKeith Stanfield plays a telemarketer who finds success using his 'white voice,' leading him down a wild rabbit hole of corporate greed and literal horse-people. It's an incredibly sharp, hilarious, and deeply unsettling commentary on capitalism, race, and labor exploitation. The film constantly reinvents itself, throwing curveball after curveball, making it one of the most original and thought-provoking flicks in recent memory.
