The Movie Slut can always find something about a flick to rave about. Even if it's a single line, one song, or costume.
And while she rarely finds a movie that's walk-outable, she also seldom sees one that she calls perfection.
Sorry To bother You is one of those rare gems.
It's "Office Space" with Swiftian satire and tragicomic emotional swings. One moment she was laughing, the next, horrified, followed by tears.
It helped to have top notch talent, including Lakeith Stanfield (above) and Tessa Thompson in the lead roles, and writer/director Boots Riley behind the scenes.
So, if you're thinking the MS hasn't told you one thing about the plot, that is by design. OK, she'll throw out one sentence. Cassius Green (Stanfield), a young man eager to escape his present living arrangement in his uncle's garage, takes a job as a telemarketer, where he learns one rule, "Stick To The Script."
Of course he doesn't and what unfolds is movie magic.
