I still
remember the first time I watched Luca Guadagnino’s Call Me by Your Name as if it were yesterday. It was a winter
afternoon as cold as the film left me. As much as I wanted to love the film
since it would be representing Italy at the Oscars, and I had heard nothing but
praises for it, I felt absolutely nothing other than boredom. This time though,
it was a whole different experience as I found myself on the verge crying
multiple times, only to burst into tears towards the end.
Sorry to Bother You (2018)
I've seen Sorry to Bother You on my Letterboxd homepage many times but, despite it having Tessa Thompson, whom I love, I never bothered watching it, mainly because some of those Letterboxd ratings/reviews were pretty bad. Then Allie over Often Off Topic reviewed it, she talked about how she liked the film, and she really made me want to see it.
The film is set in an alternate present-day version of Oakland and follows Cassius "Cash" Green (Lakeith Stanfield), a young African-American telemarketer who starts using his white voice and quickly rises through the ranks of his profession. He soon finds himself with plenty of money and no morals as it turns out that the company he works for is completely unethical.
