Micitype Pretty Good

HomeyTao For having a relatively low budget, the film's style and overall art direction are immensely impressive.

Caryl It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

violetgauche The rating I've given this movie is not exactly indicative of my feelings toward it. Sorry To Bother You is quite rough around the edges. There are pacing issues. There is some tone confusion. There are dropped threads, some scenes that go nowhere, a nonsensical love story with no chemistry... BUT, I would be shocked if in 10-15 years it hasn't developed an intense cult following. This movie was unforgettable. The jokes worked. The politics were genuinely interesting. It brings you to surprising places as a viewer. I have a really hard time overlooking the stumbles of a first-time director with what was probably a limited budget and schedule, I have to be honest about its flaws. But this movie is so much more fun than its flaws! And we need more original thought in film!! My heart gives this movie a 10/10.

anselmdaniel This review contains spoilers.Sorry to Bother You is a dark comedy movie written and directed by Boots Riley. The movie stars Lakeith Stanfield, Tessa Thompson, and Steven Yeun. The movie is about an alternate world where a young African-American telemarketer adopts a white accent to succeed at his job. Through this success, he discovers a conspiracy in society.Sorry to Bother You is a good comedy motion picture. The movie has a fun plot with hilarious dialogue. The story is also fun to follow with Lakeith Stanfield's performance as Cassius Green being magnetic. The story does get political at times, but it is still funny with its dialogue.The movie's direction is absolutely wild. This movie feels absolutely surreeal and can feel as if things are moving at a roller-coaster pace. It absolutely did feel that the movie did not feel real as it began feeling like a fantasy. I believe the creators of this movie were going for this feel to make the dark parts of the movie seem lighter. The movie's direction is still one of its strengths and the surreal direction aids in the movie's tone and mood.The plot is absolutely great for about the first two-thirds of the movie. The first two-thirds of the movie cover lots of modern day troubles and even the absurdities of modern life. It is a great satire to see as Cassius Green rises to the top of society through his special gift. The movie's last third is when the movie becomes more absurd and surreal. The movie introduces hybrid horse and humans that will replace the workforce at Worry-Free. This is all organized by Steve Lift, Worry-Free's CEO that created the hybrid equisapiens. This is when Cassius Green becomes an activist and seeks to stop Worry-Free. This jump was strange but not out of the bounds of the movie. It was here that the movie became less funny. Despite this shift, I still enjoyed the rest of the movie but it can get too weird for some.I would recommend Sorry to Bother You.

jrob03 This is the question you'll be asking yourself before you even leave the theater. The absurdity and the outright craziness this film reaches is neither enjoyable nor comfortable. The humorous sci-fi horror leaves you questioning throughout the second half of the film. Once the horrendous horse people are established, the film takes a sharp turn from a unique, seemingly well established comedy to a darkly odd, and extremely peculiar narrative. I will say your engagement and attention to the film never falls short, due to the insane and slightly deranged plot line. But the true interest will most likely leave before you can finish your popcorn. Enjoyed the acting all around, but there probably wasn't a single person cast who didn't question their desire to be a part of this. I know I would have, despite definitely still working on the project.

sydney-kamps One of the weirdest movies I've seen... Most of the characters are likable and I especially thought Tessa Thompson was amazing. The ending was unsatisfactory, which is okay if it's done well, but I just sat in my seat and stared at the credits, like, this can't be it...
