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.

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.

Boots Riley has a crazy imagination that can't be restrained. Some viewers might find I Love Boosters to be exhausting, frustrating, and even annoying.

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.

Zany. Wacky. Surreal. Funny. Looney Tunes. It's science fiction, comedy, heist film, fantasy, and social message film all wrapped up into one with a bright colorful, gorgeously designed bow. Tremendous ensemble cast. Delightful practical effects including stop motion and models. Hollywood typically doesn't make movies like this but Boots Riley brought it!

I have no idea what I just saw. There is alot going on in this movie. It's possible there is a deeper meaning to this movie, but I didn't catch it. Wait for streaming
