Sorry to Bother You Ratings & Reviews

David PortelaApril 12, 2026
STOP. Don’t watch this. An intriguing premise which could have been fascinating is quickly abandoned and ruined by unnecessary filth, disjointed and half-baked attempts at social commentary, and misguided efforts at shock value for its own sake. Do yourself a favor (and everyone around you) by choosing another way to spend the next two hours of your life.

Was not at all what I was expecting. Biting satire, absurdist comedy, Tessa Thompson wearing gloves 👀. Some of the satire can be a bit on the nose (Hello Armie Hammer) but the wild final act….I love those kinds of surprises. Lakeith Stanfield is so good. Hope his star continues to rise.

Mandatory watching. Really really weird but 100% worth it. Can't say more without spoiling it

Unwatchable. Was trying to be funny i think? But clearly wasn't. Also, their voices were weird, as if dubbed over. Half hour into it, I didn't understand what was even happening.

Pretty fun and clever.

What did I just watch? For me, the sheer blindside of this one made it fun for me.

If you had a thousand guesses, you would not predict the twist near the end. Unlike any movie I’ve ever seen. Social commentary, comedy, and science fiction all rolled into one. Danny Glover? Armie Hammer? Yup! Forest Whitaker is in this as well, but you’d never recognize him. ‘Nuff said.

There is a particular scene that is a litmus test for white people. If you are embarrassed, then maybe there’s a chance to get to the cook out. If you laugh too hard, then you are watching with other whites and there’s a reason for that.
Rob Logan | The Geek GenerationFebruary 22, 2025
Yeah OK, I get the satirical social commentary, and being wildly absurd helps to stand out from the crowd, but ultimately it was poorly paced, far too long, and just not very entertaining. If you can barely hold my attention, the rest doesn’t matter all that much.
