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.

...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.

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

This is undoubtedly a Boots Riley film, and there are few directors so distinct to warrant such recognition

In a world of generic slop passing as art, this is an actual auteurist vision, realized by some of the best craftspeople in the business.

4/5

A gonzo, cosmically spirited satire evolving into a socialistic manifesto on the necessity of workers' unions, I Love Boosters pulsates with energy, ideas, and wit.

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!

I can say for a certainty that I have not seen a movie so bizarre, original, and weird like this one. An odd, vibrant yet disturbing picture of friendship, rebellion, artistry, and boosters. Performances were well done, cinematography was top notch, and I understood the whole message from start to finish despite the randomness of scenes. worth a watch
