I'm not too sure what was going on. Throughout the movie, I was asking myself, "am I high right now?"

the very first movie this year where I wanted my money back. so disorienting and beyond repair nothing could save that. definitely would not recommend to anyone, go see Ant-Man and the wasp.

The film started out good and had great humorous scenes throughout. It also used clever symbolism, some of it I still need to process. But towards the end it just gets weird and the story totally changes, it just dissatisfied me. Overall it was an alright film.

and what will you do for $100M? Capitalism is a sick system, but it will not die on its own or alone. But we can help it die, bury it, and create something beautiful in its place. Imagine, no better yet, organize.

The commercial caught my attention. It had a weird twist to it. Could’ve been better without the use of the ending.

I felt like the trailer of this got me catfished into watching the full film, it started ok. Towards the ending I felt like I was scammed.

Tried to do what “Get Out” did but went too far and made it weird

There were hilarious moments & references. Sometimes I was the only one laughing out loud. That's how I knew I was sitting in a theater of young people & white people. Imagine this is what watching Get Out in a theater w the alternate ending would've felt like. Seriously…

You have to see twice to get clarity....You can raise to the top but are you really satisfied with the structure of the company and what it stands for...Monetary is a necessity BUT is it worth it????

To be honest wish I could give it 2 1/2 stars. Woke movie! Just lost me at the (spoilers) Horse part. Still original film.

It was original but also very weird. My face was a blank when it ended.

It started out like a clone of Living Large, and I was expecting it to follow the same story beats. But around when he should have been hooking up with the freaky white woman, the plot took a sharp turn into unpredictable territory. You just have to see it for yourself !

It is a very strange, but very original and very funny movie. I have not seen a movie this bold and trusting in its own avant garde instincts in a really long time. Additionally, it's very funny and perfectly cast.

Movie was great in the beginning. Midway towards the end it took a very weird turn. I couldn't stop thinking about the message that the writer and director was trying to send and I thought was 5 at least. Think you have to defintely view it with an open mind. Take what's…

It was a really weird movie. I liked the first half but it just takes a really weird turn.

Will definitely have to watch the directors cut of this to understand how deep some of the messages are.

I get the point they are trying to make but omg, it was too much and too crazy for an hour and 45 mins. Save your money.

A movie with this strong of a message can easily come off preachy, self-righteous, and didactic, but Riley’s sense of humor and flair for absurdity save it from any of that. Boots Riley feels compelled to say but doesn’t presume to know. He has a way of dreaming rather than grandstanding, of pondering rather than prescribing.

The story’s heightened reality works best when it’s barely distinguishable from our own—though it starts to lose steam the more it drifts into fantasy. The movie is at times a mess, but a compelling one, and this debut from Boots Riley should herald a fascinating filmmaking career.

This bold new film not only shatters comedy’s cold streak, but also serves as a powerful reminder of the vitality of the genre as both social commentary and shared experience.
