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.

7/10

From a creativity standpoint, there may not be many movies that outdo "I Love Boosters" this year. Riley is a unique talent with a strong vision, and though everything doesn't work, it's one of the funnest and fastest-paced movies of the year.

...marked a break from that heightened reality into cartoon reality... all that cartoonishness and zaniness did was lower the stakes.

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.

I LOVE BOOSTERS is a disorienting rip through numerous ideas[, but] if the years in between this SORRY TO BOTHER YOU have shown anything, it’s that we have to drink from the fire hose and do our best to take action now. Now is not the time for nuance.

4/5

Absurd, unhinged and hilarious, I Love Boosters is 2026's most unexpected heist comedy. Riley's latest is a colourful triumph, but Palmer and Moore ultimately steal the show.

3/5

It boasts a fine cast and a number of outlandish elements that will have you guessing what crazy thing will happen from scene to scene, but in the end, it's just not enough to overcome the inherent weakness in the narrative's rather flimsy foundation.

I absolutely loved it. Very colorful. It has a powerful message to it and stars Keke Palmer, one of my favorite actresses.

A, for effort, but felt like it went off the rails a bit, and some of the graphics were distracting.
