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.

Siddhant Adlakha Observer Mar 26
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 Preston Barta Dallas Observer 1d
This film is mind-blowingly creative and funny as hell, even when its wild ambition sometimes whirls out of control. Filmmaker Boots Riley is a bold risk-taker who rewards adventurous viewers, and star Keke Palmer is a knockout. Go to Full Review Josie Meléndez Film Posers Podcast 6d
4/5
A raucous wonderland of fabric and color. Keke Palmer is incredible. Go to Full Review Max Covill It's The Pictures Apr 26
