Sundance Favorite "Sorry to Bother You" Opens in Theaters on July 6th

Congratulations to the cast and crew of “Sorry to Bother You,” the directorial debut from rapper Boots Riley, which brought the house down at its premiere at this year’s Sundance Film Festival.

Starring Lakeith Stanfield, Tessa Thompson, and Armie Hammer, it’s a wildly original commentary on race, labor, and American capitalism, where one man’s discovery of the key to professional success propels him into a strange and macabre universe. Alissa Wilkinson of Vox.com calls the film “a live-wire comedy with a social conscience,” and notes “the movie’s genius lies not so much in how it reflects reality but in how it interprets it.” Earlier this month, Riley received the Sundance Institute’s Vanguard Award for the movie, which Variety’s Peter Debruge describes as “a highly confrontational satire that dares to question the system” and “deliriously creative and ambitious to a fault.”

“Sorry the Bother You” opens in theaters on Friday, July 6. Visit Fandango to find a show time near you and IMDB to learn more about this project.
