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.

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 Love Boosters gets off to a strong start, but three quarters of the way through, visual and plot overload begin to kick in, leaving us with sporadic giggles and lingering admiration for Riley's willingness to pull out every stop.

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!
