Sorry to Bother You
It seems that Cassius Green is not entirely convinced of a new job, telemarketing that he will find himself in an appalling world after discovering another area that will lead to the greatest amount of money. Greene will begin to leave his job, while his friends will organize a protest against corporate repression. He tries to move into another field and get a huge salary.

We haven't seen a mainstream pro-union film since, uhhhhhhh . . . Matewan in 1987? That fact alone makes Sorry to Bother You a riveting experience.

One of the most interesting components in Sorry To Bother You is whether the film does, or doesn't, and how it goes about testing his basic humanity.

Sorry to Bother You ponders the danger of trying to assimilate into the white world, but at heart it's a multiracial, proletarian call to arms.

A lot of the comedy fell short...the third act was a little too crazy for me, and the ending wasn't strong enough.

Soon enough the logic of maximal profit infiltrates every crevice of human life, including the human body. To say more is to spoil the surprise-and the last third of the movie is a wild ride.

I'm conflicted...I want to promote originality, and unique voices, and I'd love to see what Boots Riley does next...

This bold new film not only shatters comedy's cold streak, but also serves as a powerful reminder of the vitality of the genre as both social commentary and shared experience.

LaKeith [Stanfield] is a good actor, he has a lot of range, and I enjoy his work. Tessa Thompson killed it. She's a very interesting character.

Telemarketers as targets from which satire flows eternal were spigotted about the same time as mall cops, and that's not all this jammed-scattergun approach to comedy has in common with the terminally dopey Paul Blart.

[The] critique, ultimately, is a moral reversal, one that has less to do with making the white man a stereotype than with giving the black one a sense of self.

Sorry To Bother You [is] doubly exciting: it's conscious of what it achieves in its absurdity, just as much as it's conscious of the dangers of late-stage capitalism.

It should throw the viewer for a loop, because it's a reflection of the insane times we live in.
