That is just the launching off point: Throughout, we meet a Tony Robbins-type entrepreneur (Armie Hammer) who might also be a slave trader, Cassius’s radical artist girlfriend (Tessa Thompson), who wears earrings with so many mottos it’s a wonder she can hold up her head, and a revolutionary co-worker (Stephen Yeun) trying to rile the workers into rebelling against their masters. Suddenly, Stanfield sounds exactly like David Cross at his most nasally and has become a superstar at the company, which leads him “upstairs,” where “supercallers” like him go after the Glengarry leads. Lakeith Stanfield plays Cassius, a good-hearted guy who feels like his life is getting away from him and thus tries his hand at telemarketing, failing at it (in a series of fantastic scenes in which his desk literally drops into the homes of whomever he is dialing) until a colleague (Danny Glover, interesting until the movie drops him entirely) recommends he use his “white voice” on calls. (Some of those moments are pretty giddy too.) The former far outnumbers the latter. There are also moments that will make you wonder who in the world gave this lunatic a camera. ![]() There are moments in Sorry To Bother You that will make you want to jump giddily around the theater. This is rapper and producer Boots Riley’s first movie, and it shows, in every possible way-good, bad, incredible, ridiculous-as if he didn’t know if he’d ever be able to make another one, so he threw every idea he ever had into this. Sorry to Bother You has so many ideas busting out of every seam, so much ambition, so much it so urgently wants to say, that it feels almost churlish to point out that the movie ends up careening gloriously out of control. Stars: Lakeith Stanfield, Tessa Thompson, Armie Hammer, Stephen Yeun, Patton Oswalt, David Cross, Terry Crews, Danny Glover Christ, can any of us ever hear ”Singing in the Rain” the same again after this nightmare? -Scott Wold It’s painfully clear that when Alex is cast as a victim by the British Minister of the Interior (Anthony Sharp) that-spoiler alert!-evil wins. It’s still a relentlessly vicious satire portraying a society permissive of brutal youth culture, one where modern science and psychology are the best countermeasures in combating the Ultra Violence™ that men like Alex and his fellow “droogs” commit. Stars: Malcolm McDowell, Patrick Magee, Adrienne Corri, Miriam KarlinĪs with most (well, probably all) of Stanley Kubric’s book-to-screen adaptations, A Clockwork Orange remixes several aspects from Anthony Burgess’s novel, and probably for the better (at least Alex isn’t a pedophile in Kubrick’s film, for example).
