Very rarely is a director’s debut feature as ambitious, distinctive and politically engaged as Boots Riley’s Sorry to Bother You. Best known for his rapping, Riley bursts onto the film scene with complete self-assurance in his idiosyncratic brand of humour. Thrillingly fresh, provocative and jam-packed with offbeat jokes, Sorry to Bother You has future cult classic written all over it.
Sorry to Bother You starts off fairly ordinarily, introducing us to jobless Cassius (Lakeith Stanfield) who resides in his uncle’s garage with equally skint girlfriend and performance artist Detroit (Tessa Thompson). Four months behind on his rent and desperate for money, Cassius decides to take up employment at telemarketing firm RegalView. Initially, he struggles to keep anyone on the line during his cold calling script, but once he employs a ‘white voice’ (provided amusingly by David Cross) the sales start to roll in. It’s not long...
