‘Sovereign’ Review: In the Rare Thriller That’s Truly Political, Nick Offerman Is Powerful as a Lost Soul of the New Right

He’s an unemployed roofer who lives with his home-schooled teenage son, Joe ( Jacob Tremblay), in an ugly neglected ranch house with junk strewn around the front yard. He travels through the heartland, presenting his seminar in bingo parlors and dingy motel conference rooms, preaching to small-town types who feel like they’ve been raked over the coals. At his seminars, we hear tales of genuine economic injustice: a woman whose mortgage payment jumped $800, a man whose apartment caught fire because of faulty electricity, and now he’s out on the street.
