MA15+ | 112 Mins2018 | DCP | US | D: Boots Riley
Cassius Green (Lakeith Stanfield) is down and out and living in a garage when he lands a job at a call centre and cracks the code for success – speaking with a White voice. He’s soon promoted upstairs as a ‘power caller’ and must reevaluate his principles now that he’s a big shot.
The surreal debut feature of musician and activist Boots Riley has been praised for its wacky narrative satirising everything from reality TV to Silicon Valley, racism to social media.
“It’s a roiling mix of wry race comedy, economy-grade dystopian sci-fi, and Silicon Valley satire. Also, it’s as funny and as caustic as hell.” – Original Cin
