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.

The result is a fashion movie that takes the art at its center for granted, a work of radical narrative freedom which falls back on last season’s tropes.

3.5/5

Riley’s vision of a late capitalist dystopia never strays too far from the world we know. It’s a funhouse mirror reflection, but one that doesn’t bend its reflective surface that far.

While a thrilling watch at many moments, there is also an overwhelming sense that politics and characters of I Love Boosters are struggling to find their full expression against the weight of the film’s undeniably spirited ambition.

Its tone is loud, and conventional logic is indefinitely suspended. But it is the work of director Boots Riley, whose voice is distinct, uncompromising, and fully in command.

8/10

Thanks to its star power, attitude, and general sense of style, there is so much to take in at a visual level that it’s only a minor shame the film doesn’t land an overarching message that will extend beyond the general bizarre feeling.

7/10

Crammed with content for a tight attention economy, the movie is a lot, and sometimes too much. At its best, though, it’s a great hangout film, with wonderfully random comic elements...

I've heard of Boots Riley but had never seen one of his films. The trailers for his films seemed too quirky for what I generally watch...but I now know why he has a cult-like following! This was great cinema! Great story and acting, incredible set design, costumes, and color grading. Funny, witty, quirky, with social messaging that isn't shoved down your throat but more like...micro-dosed through humor.

That was one of the weirdest movies I have ever seen. It felt there was a lot of work put into the storytelling, but not the story itself. Visually impressive, visually interesting, overall decent.
