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.

Audience Says

Stylish and outlandish, I Love Boosters delivers a weird and psychedelic ride that makes a statement far beyond fashion.

Although the sum is not as grand as the individual parts, I Love Boosters is a roller coaster that comes close to being radical but remains centered on looking good and feeling good.

Even in the film’s most convoluted moments, there’s a fire of dissent percolating just beneath its surface.

3/5

While I Love Boosters frays by the end, it does succeed as an antidote to Met Gala pretentiousness.

The film is laden with hefty ideas including dialectical materialism. But it’s also full-tilt boogie bananas, animated by a Tex Avery-style cartoon energy that is as serious as it is silly.

Boots Riley’s signature style and substance is on full display with a vibrant kaleidoscope of bold characters, practical effects, thoughtful political call-outs, and tremendous fun.

Horrible movie. Total mess with wayyyyy too many plots. And they were rediculous. Felt as the movie was being written as it was shot.
