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.

The Travers Take

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.

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.

Here’s hoping for a sequel; this charismatic quartet may well have another adventure up their very stylish sleeves.

[I Love Boosters is] too unfocused and scattershot to really transform into something more meaningful. It’s a bit too wacky for my tastes, and I say that as someone who actually digs the weirder side of cinema.

I Love Boosters is one of the more outlandish and interesting films to come out in 2026, a long-awaited return from Riley that demonstrates his strong storytelling and filmmaking voice.

The cutesy too-muchness tips into insufferable fairly early on, Now I understand why some people have such violent reactions to Wes Anderson movies.

Entertaining, but it was a deep sci-fi. Too cerebral, but at the end had a moral message about workers equity.

I love the movie from the beginning it was adventurous dynamic sincere and multidimensional!! It kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time I never knew what was going to happen! It was deep and poetic, but at the same time funny and humorous, definitely a must watch and I would recommend to others

Great movie, if you’re a fan of Boots Riley, you know it’s gonna get weird and unexplainable but fantastic storytelling and the metaphors and symbolism hit deep.
