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.

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.

"[Boots] Riley’s latest, I Love Boosters, may be messy, but it's also a stroke of genius in equal measure."

The film is a colorful, chaotic critique of capitalism and a madcap maximalist masterpiece. Fashion is all about making a statement, and I Love Boosters makes a loud, unforgettable one.

7/10

Boots Riley delivers another wildly original satire. Bursting with dazzling visuals, bold fashion, infectious music and fearless political commentary, I Love Boosters is messy, excessive and irresistibly entertaining from start to finish.

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.

Just plain off-the-wall funny with a heart and with enough (hilarious) political commentary to ease the soul in these troubled times. Thank you Boots Riley!
