What to Know

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.

1.5/4
The anti-nuance of [Riley's] perspective is commendably audacious, at least in theory. In practice, it’s visually and emotionally incoherent, and seldom entertaining, squandering potent ideas by making them thuddingly obvious and unpleasant. Go to Full Review Joe Gross Austin Chronicle Mar 18
What’s most striking is Riley’s optimism; for a guy whose work can feel apocalyptic, he maintains an inspired belief in the power of community and the contradictory realities of life under extreme capitalism. Go to Full Review Kristy Puchko Mashable Mar 14
Riley delivers a sophomore effort that's outrageous, provocative, and really f*cking fun. Go to Full Review Kevin L. Lee Film Inquiry Mar 26
Boots Riley reminds us that even though there is much to be angry about the world we live in, there is still hope that we can rally, strategize, and make it better. Go to Full Review Marissa Hill Shade Studios Mar 22
The fashion alone makes it worth watching. Go to Full Review Sharai Bohannon A Nightmare On Fierce Street Podcast Mar 21
4/5
'I Love Boosters' says what it means in the most stylish of ways. It's packing decadent visuals, tons of humor, and twisted turns that only Boots Riley could come up with. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
