60 of 245 · most liked firstSORRY TO BOTHER YOU starts as a movie about a black guy who gets ahead in telemarketing because he can do a white voice, and by the end it's about a revolution led by human-horse hybrids called Equisapiens. Now Boots Riley has made a second movie.
positive · AI labelView post →gonna go rewatch Sorry to Bother You because even that movie wasn't this fucking dystopic
positive · AI labelView post →For context, Sorry To Bother You premiered with on 800 screens and made $4M that 1st weekend. The amount that could be added to a Black-led film by tracking Carribean numbers might change the game for many films. A wide release could be 2250 screens, this would b 1/3 of that.
neutral · AI labelView post →Boots Riley, the visionary filmmaker behind Sorry to Bother You and creator of I’m a Virgo, returns with his latest project, I Love Boosters.
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm watching Sorry to Bother You and I forgot how surreal this movie is and also Armie Hammer's screen presence is always so unsettling, even before whatever happened with the whole cannibal thing. It's a very 2018 movie in a lot of ways, and I feel like a mule kicked me in the head as I typed that
neutral · AI labelView post →tonight's movie with friends: SORRY TO BOTHER YOU
neutral · AI labelView post →This is why the movie "Sorry to Bother You" gets so bonkers. Because subtly and is dead, artists sometimes need to hit alot of people over the head with their message
positive · AI labelView post →New Space the Nation episode is up today for all: @dandrezner.bsky.social and I unpack all the subtleties (this is sarcasm!) of Boots Riley's Sorry to Bother You, a movie that was recommended to me so much I refused to watch it for years. My loss! It is quite good! shows.acast.com/spacethenati...
positive · AI labelView post →Finally watched Sorry To Bother You. Enjoyed it quite a lot. But when my buddy warned me that it starts off as a quirky comedy and escalates into something else, I still wasn't prepared. There's a moment in that film where the acid kicks in and things go amazingly gonzo.
positive · AI labelView post →Chose to watch 'The American Society of Magical Negroes' based purely on the strength of the title, & it is excellent. Smart. Satirical. Funny. Incisive. If you liked the film Sorry To Bother You or the book Careless People, give it a go. www.imdb.com/title/tt3000...
neutral · AI labelView post →Sorry To Bother You will someday be regarded as Brazil is now, and it will totally deserve it. Wild, brilliant dystopian movie.
positive · AI labelView post →Boots Riley, not even a contest, e.g., Sorry to Bother You only works as a film because of its aggressively left-wing stance.
positive · AI labelView post →I need yall to know right after we took this selfie I told him I loved Sorry to Bother You bc I worked in a call center Me: that movie was my whole life, except for the horse dicks Boots: …metaphorically 💀💀💀
positive · AI labelView post →Review of the Week: @bootsriley.bsky.social’s I Love Boosters ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Starring a trio of high-end shoplifters and a teleporter powered by communist theory, director Boots Riley’s follow-up to Sorry to Bother You is a riotous, anti-capitalist vision, writes Nerve film critic @ellenejones.bsky.social
neutral · AI labelView post →I've decided to watch another Boots Riley movie because I loved I Love Boosters so much so I'm watching Sorry To Bother You and your lil Teamster steward is picking up very early that this man has a running theme and I really really like it. I will support all of his endeavors
positive · AI labelView post →My ★★★★ review of Sorry to Bother You on Letterboxd boxd.it/8SihIb
positive · AI labelView post →Sorry To Bother You is an amazing movie with a scene that will make any white person uncomfortable (in a good way). Bonkers cast too.
positive · AI labelView post →Cabaret did this, there's a subplot in Sorry to Bother You about this, every fucking Godard movie ever is about this, come on people
neutral · AI labelView post →There is this movie called "Sorry To Bother You", by Boots Riley, in which a Company called Worry Free sells the brilliant opportunity of being enslaved and don't have to worry about unemployment anymore. This is an outtake of a WorryFree TV ad:
neutral · AI labelView post →I watched Sorry To Bother You (2018) yesterday, and it feels like every time I open social media I’m hit with a real world analogue to each horror element. Like a new mass-market deeply racist Halloween costume. Which shows just how skillful a social commentary horror film it is, but also 😬.
positive · AI labelView post →Teaching at a college in which students work shit jobs & who have parents who work shit jobs has its downsides (students are time stressed/$ stressed) but also its rewards. Students read Sorry to Bother You literally: “work turns you into an animal; it dehumanizes you. This film is totally real.”
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm watching "Sorry To Bother You" for the first time and it's pretty fun but it got FAR weirder than I was expecting. What a wild movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →now watching I Love Boosters!!! i adored Sorry to Bother You so im real excited for another Boots Riley movie
positive · AI labelView post →30. I Love Boosters Best movie of the year I'm being so deadass. Watch this movie knowing as little about it as possible, but I do recommend watching "Sorry to Bother You" first to gauge if you're into this sort of freak cinema
neutral · AI labelView post →DAY 14 - A film you've watched on a first date #30DayFilmChallenge i don’t know that i would recommend Sorry to Bother You (2018) as a first movie you watch with someone
neutral · AI labelView post →This constant erasure of what was going on in that film to focus on Teyana Taylor's annoying politics will never not enrage me, like I remember when SORRY TO BOTHER YOU came out and it was fucking crickets for that masterpiece
positive · AI labelView post →Annapurna could sign a Black director to make a cool, breakout cultural film, like Sorry to Bother You. (Treachery in Beatdown City, my game, has been compared to it 😏) Amazon could also sign a Black director to make another cultural breakout film, like One Night in Miami. And yet ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

neutral · AI labelView post →Finally watched Sorry To Bother You and good gods that movie fucking rules
positive · AI labelView post →Oh shit, double rec on Sorry To Bother You. What a great movie.
positive · AI labelView post →A flop at the US box office, a 6 month wait for Boots Riley's gaudy fashion-fantasy I Love Boosters hasn't done it any favours; it's got the manic energy of Sorry to Bother You, but this wacky tale of San Fran shoplifters is too silly and busy to engage. 3 out of 5 film-authority.com/2026/10/30/i...
neutral · AI labelView post →The thesis is "our ruling class are scientifically illiterate and gonna get us all killed and there's nothing we can do", it's like a lobotomized Sorry to Bother You. This film is begging for a call to action but all the liberal filmmakers know is Vote Harder, Phone Bank, Eat Hot Chip, and Lie
neutral · AI labelView post →I Love Boosters Waited for Boots Riley's next movie for what feels like ages and it delivered on the same fever dream energy I expected it to. Part of me feels Sorry To Bother You had stronger characters & shock value but I still admire the gall to make a movie with set design & colors THIS bonkers
positive · AI labelView post →My dream movie to see with a bunch of people who haven’t seen it before is: Sorry to Bother You
positive · AI labelView post →"Sorry To Bother You" is playing at the Alamo Drafthouse in SF this weds. An amazing film and I'm excited to see it again in a theater. https://drafthouse.com/sf/event/weird-wednesday-sorry-to-bother-you #BootsRiley #SanFrancisco #SorryToBotherYou
positive · AI labelView post →2018: SORRY TO BOTHER YOU Despite being written by an Xer nearly a decade earlier, possibly the greatest film about Millennial malaise. “If you get shown a problem, but have no idea how to control it, then you just decide to get used to the problem.”

positive · AI labelView post →Sorry to Bother You, great film. Go into it cold, don't look it up, just watch.
positive · AI labelView post →Man. Sorry to Bother You is a film that is not fucking around. I had heard this was the case but like. Damn.

neutral · AI labelView post →While I’m on the topic, Boots Riley’s politics are idiotic and I am not going to pretend Sorry to Bother You was a good movie. Men like him love to be tokens
negative · AI labelView post →#nw Sorry to Bother You - i love this movie so much and honestly they just got my ass within minutes when Cash puts $0.40 of gas in his car lmfao realest shit ever
positive · AI labelView post →Yeah. He has a tendency, I think, to throw a lot of Wild Ideas at the screen, but because he's just not that interested in his characters, the people in SORRY TO BOTHER YOU feel weirdly passive for a film about -- among other things -- launching a worldwide worker's revolution
negative · AI labelView post →Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die is not for everyone. It was definitely for me, though. More Sorry to Bother You than Dude, Where’s My Car, but shares a lot of DNA with both, which is as high a compliment as I’ve got for a film in this particular vein

positive · AI labelView post →Sorry to Bother You My favorite film of 2018. #Filmsky 📽️
positive · AI labelView post →Random recommendation of the day: On hindsight, maybe this one deserves the extra half-star. Either way, Sorry to Bother You (2018) is a unique and surreal film that pokes at your brain. Impressive for a debut film. #FilmSky My ★★★½ review of Sorry to Bother You on Letterboxd boxd.it/13aJVr

neutral · AI labelView post →I disliked Sorry to Bother You not because the movie is bad but because I don't like Boots Riley's politics. movie should have been pro capitalism. stupid libs ruining everything
negative · AI labelView post →Like no, I don't care how absurd politics gets, I'm not claiming the misanthropic eugenics movie. Go watch Sorry to Bother You and get better taste
