boots riley is an interesting fellow.
its wacky nature and humor is funny and leads to some wonderful gags.
its thematic strings are rooted in sweatshop workers, material stolen from cultures and how the media and big companies ultimately are oblivious or ignore that and villanize people like boosters in this film.now, not every character is fully a person but they all have good chemistry with eachother. i am a bit dissapointed by the way the first two halfs look, the film obviously is full of color but the color GRADING is a just a hint away from letting the colors actually pop. despite that, the film has some beautifull imagery, stop motion and visuall effects.

Is it TOO weird? Probably. Is it laugh out loud funny? Definitely. Did it almost lose me a couple times? Totally. Will I buy the blu-ray? Obviously, but not until it's on sale.
