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.

Stylish and outlandish, I Love Boosters delivers a weird and psychedelic ride that makes a statement far beyond fashion.

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.

While I Love Boosters frays by the end, it does succeed as an antidote to Met Gala pretentiousness.

But the beauty in "Boosters" is how magnificently it illustrates the sum total of these gripes as one multipronged struggle that can only be overcome through solidarity and collective bargaining amongst the aggrieved.

It definitely requires a bit of critical thinking while watching to understand the themes, on a surface level some things may seem weird. But 10/10 on the message and story, see it while you can!!
