Description

Expect the unexpected in Boots Riley’s directorial debut, Sorry to Bother You — an outrageously surreal look at capitalism, corporate greed, and fractured workplace dynamics. In an alternate present-day version of Oakland, California, struggling telemarketer Cassius Green (Lakeith Stanfield) discovers a magical key to professional success, which propels him into a macabre universe.

    Kinda scary how many people don’t get this film. Hard to tell if all the bad reviews are real or just spooks gaming the ratings. I think it’s the best social/political commentary I’ve ever seen in a popular movie. Boots really nailed it with this one.

  • Entertaining, Dazzling and hallrious

    Telemark company's always hit with a soft bang. Sorry to bother you is hallrious dark comedy that has fresh plot material. LaKeith Stanfield is fantastic in this highly digtalized black comedy.

  • Poor Putney Swope Modernized Knockoff

    when Isaw all the the hype as well as the ads for this film, i was initially excited. then i actually saw the film, i thought i was visually making a creative effort but overall i had the feeling the director and writer wanted to simply do a modernized version of “Putney Swope.” they missed, by a long shot.

  • A biting critique of modern capitalism

    Not a bad watch. Starts off more clever than it finishes. It won’t bore you and will keep you wondering where they’re going with it for the most part.

  • So much for critic reviews...

    The only thing that came from watching this movie was my decision to no longer look to Rotten Tomatoes as a source for the worth of a movie. 92%?!? This movie is absolutely horrible. A confusing political and racial message combined with an awful storyline and ridiculous twist. Proof that good acting is not enough to carry a poorly written plot.
