In an alternative version of modern California, black telemarketer Cash (Lakeith Stanfield) learns a hidden tool of the trade – by adopting a ‘white voice’ (David Cross) he is able to massively improve his sales rate. Quickly scaling the rungs of the RegalView company, Cash’s success sours when he discovers the darker side of his company’s dealings.
Also starring Armie Hammer, this brilliantly absurdist and hilarious critique of modern capitalism demonstrates the definitive arrival of a visionary filmmaker in director Boots Riley.
