Details About the Film

The long-awaited sophomore feature from Boots Riley (Sorry to Bother You), I Love Boosters is a surreal maximalist send-up of the fashion industry and capitalism. Keke Palmer stars as Corvette, the leader of a group of boosters, shoplifters who sell clothes at a discount. When Corvette and her crew set their next mark as the clothes of cutthroat fashion maven Christie Smith (Demi Moore), the two are swept into a cat-and-mouse game to determine if ordinary workers can outwit a billionaire.

Film Reviews

"It’s a lot, but that’s Boots’ style. The Adult Swim energy is strong here and the satire is sharp in the way that shattered glass flying every which way from a shotgun blast is."

–David Fear, Rolling Stone

"Watching it feels less like being transported into a different universe than putting on X-ray goggles to look at our own -- and finding, buried under all the frustration and despair, a joyful and unruly sense of hope."

–Angie Han, The Hollywood Reporter

"Seeing a vision this unbridled onscreen is a breath of fresh air in a cinematic landscape overloaded with IP rehashes. Boots Riley is a genuine original, and in "I Love Boosters," he makes a statement as wildly entertaining as possible." 

–Dan Bayer, Next Best Picture
