Sorry to Bother You (2018)
Cash is a low-level telemarketer who finds success by putting on his "white voice" in order to sell encyclopedias. As his co-workers begin to organize, Cash is promoted to "Power Caller," complete with golden elevator. Soon he's rolling in dough and conflicted about what he's selling: slave labor.
This is a truly bizarre movie with the "Worry Free" lifestyle (sign a lifetime contract for room and board), art installations in which people can hurl paint and cellphones at the artist, and horse people -- sorry, I mean EquiSapiens. It kind of goes off the rails eventually, but it's at least fresh.
