Professional shoplifters embark on a wild adventure as they target a cutthroat fashion mogul.

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.

A-

The funniest movie of the year so far. Filmmakers with Boots Riley's eye for maximalist production design almost never have his knack for devastating punchlines.

4.5/5

Riley manages to create something just bonkers enough actually feels like it has something to say, and is bright and colorful enough to demand your attention.

But the beauty in "Boosters" is how magnificently it illustrates the sum total of these gripes as one multipronged struggle that can only be overcome through solidarity and collective bargaining amongst the aggrieved.

Loved this movie, what a great satire of fashion and society. Way weirder than the trailer even, and laugh out loud audacious imaginative and funny.
