Movie Info & Cast
Synopsis
Sorry To Bother You is a lot of things: political yet personal, wildly funny and deeply frightening, familiar yet utterly surreal. This mesmerizing debut feature from musician Boots Riley takes place in an alternate version of present-day Oakland and tells the story of Cassius Green (Lakeith Stanfield), a young black man who lands a cubicle job as a telemarketer. He quickly learns, however, that success in his new gig depends on mastering a technique known as the “white voice”. His friends want to form a union, his girlfriend (Tessa Thompson) wants to start a revolution, and his bosses want to utilize his newfound talents in bigger and better ways. And Cassius? He mostly wants to move out of his uncle’s garage. This film is an unforgettable, absurdist journey with something to say – and a lot of surprises along the way. The cast also includes Armie Hammer, Terry Crews, Steven Yeun, Omari Hardwick, Jermaine Fowler, Danny Glover, and the voices of David Cross and Patton Oswalt.

- Jeff The Epic lovedSorry to Bother You
This is very much a movie where you either love or hate it. The last act of the movie is very polarizing and jarring, but I thought the execution of this transition was well done and fun to watch. Some great subtle, and very not subtle, political commentary. Great soundtrack.
Elissa likedSorry to Bother YouI think I liked it? Just don’t talk to me about the horse people.
Bella Kamiya is "meh" onSorry to Bother YouGood message but got lost in the oddity of the film. But, can appreciate how this movie demands to be seen, as weird as I thought it was, it was almost alluring. However, the last third of the movie got a little too weird for me and I turned my brain off at that point.
- miranda likedSorry to Bother You
i recommend this movie for people who like “strange” movies. as the movie carried on it got kinda weird but its a good topic of discussion 6/10
Tate is "meh" onSorry to Bother YouI love weird movies and I saw a tik tok saying this was like severance. I get that this movie has a deeper message and It has a new and interesting plot which kept me very hopeful and excited for the movie. But 2 hours in it just gets too weird and drops all strings of plot4.9/10
Jack Rooney likedSorry to Bother YouAMock said it best, it’s bizzare. It has a wildly unexpected turn halfway through and to this day I haven’t really recovered from it…in a good way.

I'm not too sure what was going on. Throughout the movie, I was asking myself, "am I high right now?"
ELEvan Lewisthe very first movie this year where I wanted my money back. so disorienting and beyond repair nothing could save that. definitely would not recommend to anyone, go see Ant-Man and the wasp.
JAJonathan AvilaCrazy!
- DGDavid Garcia
The film started out good and had great humorous scenes throughout. It also used clever symbolism, some of it I still need to process. But towards the end it just gets weird and the story totally changes, it just dissatisfied me. Overall it was an alright film.
BZBrenna ZedanThis movie is A. Lot. And I loved every minute of it.
NSNatalia Salinasand what will you do for $100M? Capitalism is a sick system, but it will not die on its own or alone. But we can help it die, bury it, and create something beautiful in its place. Imagine, no better yet, organize.

shouldn't stay home was not not worth even one star
NCNandi ClarkeThis was the most insane movie I have ever watched.
HAHector AcostaPhenomenal movie. Don’t want to say too much, just know that it is a must see.
