US science-fiction comedy in which an African-American telemarketer becomes highly successful after adopting a 'white voice'.
Dynamic debut feature from Boots Riley that's brash and unruly but sharply satirical.
Wildly inventive, unpredictable, and unhinged, Riley’s genre-bender stands out from the comedy pack.
No fence-sitting here, Sorry To Bother You wallops its targets. Drenched in self-awareness, it is fantastically refreshing, defiantly announcing Riley as a radical new voice.
Riley builds on the history of satirical cinema to tell a sharply contemporary fable that critiques the related inequities of race, class and unionised labour.
Boots Riley’s cheerfully anarchic satire.
Riley’s willingness to be true to the ideas he’s exploring ensures it transcends any influences to become a singular work of gonzo brilliance in its own right.
A likable loser takes cold calling to a new level in Riley’s gleefully anarchic directorial debut that tackles race and class with the flair of peak Woody Allen.
