Fucking amazing. An absolute joyride through our own hell world. I feel like a fucking lib for waiting so long to find the time.

    No one else find it ham fisted as fuck? Yeah the surrealism was kinda fun but to me it reeked of student film who were advised by their course leader to make it Brechtian or some shit.

      I went to film school, so I thought it was at least plainly obvious, if not hamfisted, but there was a solid chunk of my friends that watched it that were like "huh?"

      Simple fact is most people don't think movies, especially surreal ones, have anything more to say than the words on screen.

        Yeah that's fair I suppose. Lots of my family members didn't get it at all.

      I'm just so leftbrained that the leftism made it good despite 100% agreeing with what you said lol

      But it was a fun watch, far from a masterpiece. Boots Riley in general is kinda hamfisted despite my respect for him.

      hahah fuck it, make political messaging as obvious as possible. Chuds who accidentally watch this movie have to be hit over the head to even acknowledge COD and shit are political.

      I felt like it carried on the Kafka tradition of being both surreal and hamfisted as fuck. It's overall message was obvious, but like Kafka I'm sure there is a lot I'll only get on repeat viewings
