This film has many original ideas and is really ambitious. Unfortunately some of the director's choices spoil the potential of the script. The actors are well cast here. Overall this ambitious film is a little bit of a misfire.

Funny and inventive, but doesn't deliver on the promise of the first act (and no, not because of the obvious). There's a definite slackening of the pace once the twist is introduced, alongside a kind of newfound earnestness that dulls the film's satirical edge. I do understand that it isn't, say, an early Kaufman flick, and that there is a didactic aim behind the absurdity; still, I think it would have been more effective for being less transparent.

Early on this showcases some deliciously effective dark comedy, absurdist satire and low-key surrealism. Sadly about halfway through it started to lose some its grounding bite for me. I got the feeling they didn't exactly know where they were going with this and after that one twist (which had me laughing like an insane person) it all just kind of fell apart both tonally and thematically. The brilliant lead performance completely carries the film though and is instantly recognizable.

Harika sistem eleştirisi. Fakir ama gururlu genç, Call center da çalışıp para kazanmak ister. Arkadaşlarıyla işi, grevdeyken, terfi gelir. Kazancı güçlü olur. Fakat yaptığı iş etik değildir. Filmin anlatım tarzı aptala anlatır gibi yaparken, ilginç sahneleriyle de izlettiriyor. Kapitalizmi çok iyi gösterirken, sosyalizm de iğne batırıyor. Kırılma noktasını görünce şaşırıyoruz. Filmin sonu da, Jurassic Park. Eve güneş girsin de perde alın perde.

Sorry to Bother You showcases a unique talent in rapper and producer Boots Riley that I hope we see more of. The film is all levels of ridiculous and transports the viewer to a surreal futuristic world that is a cross between 1984 and Soylent Green. And yet, behind some brilliant absurdist comedy and the visual creativity is a very pointed and insightful social commentary into class and race warfare that stings when it hits its points right on the head. An original and thought-provoking film.
