ABOUT THE FILM

"The writer-director behind Sorry to Bother You, is back with another idiosyncratic, anti-capitalist vision, featuring an all-star cast that includes Keke Palmer, Naomi Ackie, LaKeith Stanfield and Demi Moore.

"Corvette is an aspiring fashion designer and leader of The Velvet Gang, a group of ‘boosters’ who rob clothes from fashion entrepreneur Christie Smith’s boutiques. But when Smith steals one of Corvette’s designs, The Velvet Gang are pushed to the next level."
— Watershed summary

"I find it hard to wish Riley would rein himself in when the excess is so much a part of the film’s joy."
★★★★ Angie Han, Hollywood Reporter

"I Love Boosters, Boots Riley’s candy-colored indictment of capitalism, is as sharp as it is deranged. Living somewhere along the spectrum of magical realism, the entire film is a brilliant balancing act of comedy and call-to-action that sprinkles a little philosophy in-between."
★★★★ Alyssa Mora, IGN

"An exuberantly inventive but overstretched comedy about the redistribution of luxury goods and the chic that goes with them."
★★★ Richard Brody, The New Yorker
