"Here, I'll give you a tip. You want to make some money here? Then you need to use your white voice" (Langston gives Cassius some advice on how to make the type of money Cassius is hoping for).

Now here is a film with something to say. Sorry To Bother You gives the themes of equal opportunity, work-place rights, corporate tyranny and ones right to simply live a decent life an airing. I've heard it said that in case he didn't get to make another film, director Boots Riley has tried to spill all that has been on his mind over the duration of his creative life. Cassius Green(Lakeith Stanfield)lives with girlfriend Detroit (Tessa Thompson) in his uncles garage. He can't pay rent and has no prospects. A career in tele-marketing offers a vehicle to earning an income. Adopting a white man's voice to nail a deal is the first clue to where this story is headed. Corporate U.S.A. will reward Cassius whose moral compass will be tested. I can't help but think of the themes of Terry Gilliam's Brazil when watching STBY. It's worth a look. 8GUMS.
