An interesting twist with #SorryToBotherYou is how it sacrifices characterization in favor of deconstructing a concept.

Some people who saw the film are struggling with this, so here goes a mini-breakdown of how lack of character development is weirdly a strength of the film: Underdeveloped characters definitely bother me (😏) and #SorryToBotherYou does sideline a deeper understanding of Detroit (Tessa Thompson), one of a precious few Black female characters in film.

But in this ONE case... I’d argue that loss is for a greater good.
