MAGIC REALISM AT ITS BEST, A HILARIOUS ,CRAZY, SARCASTIC, FUNNY JOURNEY! It's impossible to describe this movie! Crazy, hilarious, nonsense but beauty!  Without any long review [A lots are available on internet ] I will suggest you to watch this film first, at your own risk, because it is not everyone's cup of coffee, and scream loudly. It's a perfect example of 'Magic Realism' , debutante Boots Riley's direction & writing made it only of its kind. Pure original & artistic. It portraits the truth of telemarketing in a terrible, unreal way. The alternative world, Riley created is brilliant, the 'Worryfree' , 'White Voice' , 'Equisapiens' are something which will wonder you. A sarcastic, satire black comedy which shows the transformation of the employees of companies into otherworldly creatures in a ironical way.

But the MAIN THEME is brilliant and match the expectation level, an epic harmonic piece that will touch the heart directly. 'ARMSTRONG CABIN', 'SEXT...
