The TVI Take
Boots Riley's 2018 directorial debut anchored by Lakeith Stanfield as an Oakland telemarketer who succeeds by using his 'white voice.' The structural commitment to letting class-and-race-allegory operate inside a satirical-sci-fi register, and the canonical equisapien third-act reveal, is canonical late-2010s indie prestige work.
