Sorry to Bother You
Dir. Boots Riley
Universal Pictures
In an era made for refreshing takes on political art and film, Sorry To Bother You is one of the funniest and most interesting socially aware dark comedies in recent memory. Helmed by first time Writer/Director Boots Riley, the film follows Oakland, California resident Cassius Green (Lakeith Stanfield) as he rises to prominence as a telemarketer by discovering his “white voice” and its ability to help him make sales. Fleshed out by a robust cast including Danny Glover, Terry Crews, Steven Yeun and Tessa Thompson and voice acting from David Cross, Patton Oswalt and Lily James, Sorry To Bother You is a must-see.
