What to Know

Critics Consensus

A raucous capitalist critique, I Love Boosters careens through the carefully-controlled chaos of writer-director Boots Riley's imagination to deliver a comedy that's as funny as it is thought-provoking.

Peter Travers The Travers Take 2d
3/4
It’s Keke Palmer vs Demi Moore in a fashion smackdown from radically funny director Boots Riley who steals laughs from places you never thought you’d find them. Go to Full Review
Lindsey Bahr Associated Press 3d
2.5/4
It is a crime that this is only Riley’s second produced movie. Though it might not reach the crackling heights of his debut, “Sorry to Bother You,” his imagination is still on fire. Go to Full Review
Moira MacDonald Seattle Times 3d
3.5/4
Here’s hoping for a sequel; this charismatic quartet may well have another adventure up their very stylish sleeves. Go to Full Review
Brooke Obie Black Girl Watching 17h
Laugh-out-loud film will literally go off the rails. Think B.A.P.S. plus Blade Runner and the collage art of Mickalene Thomas. And claymation! Hang on and enjoy the riotous, liberating ride. Go to Full Review
Andrew Parker The Gate 18h
8/10
This is first rate, confident filmmaking that owns its decisions as much as it owns its own messaging. Go to Full Review
Allyson Johnson But Why Tho? 1d
7/10
With an outlandish sense of style, gleeful refusal to adhere to any pre-approved structural whim, and Palmer’s stratospheric charisma, Riley delivers distinctive visuals energized by high-octane exuberance at the sheer wonder of making a film. Go to Full Review

Tracy W 24m Not my kind of movie at all!!!! Demons, skinless people, a machine that looks like a toilet seat that can cause time travel, deconstruct and I cant remember the third thing, Chinese workers labor issues, high fashion and boosting. Some social commentary but for me it got lost in all the aforementioned stuff. See more Clem H 1h Absolutely bizarre movie that was hard to watch & follow any true plot. Stupid Sex scenes that were again unnecessary! See more Tashiba G 1h Keke Palmer and Naomi Ackie as best friends played very well. Some hilariously funny laugh out loud moments were sprinkled throughout. Robin Thede’s scene was Black Lady Sketch Show brilliant. I was cracking up at Taylor Paige for suggesting what took place in that scene. Lake Stanfield annoys me personally but even his presence and key scenes were funny dennamug. See more Noah R 1h Going out on a limb here with my rating because I didn’t come out of this movie super hyped. There’s so much cool stuff in it thought that I predict that my hype for this movie will grow as I sit with it for a while. It’s a great time but it feels the need to over explain things which really kills the vibe and slows things way down. See more Jim 2h Another movie from the Boots Reiley that everyone should see. We all can have a better world. We just have to make it happen See more Amy 4h Packed with social and economic critique, its a maximalist visual feast. Its a dystopian vision set in a funhouse.
