A maximalist romp that’s somehow Marxist in intention, Boots Riley does not disappoint with this much anticipated second feature. A fraternal twin to his first film Sorry to Bother You (2018), I Love Boosters exists in a world pulsing with narrative lawlessness. Keke Palmer, Naomi Ackie, and Taylour Paige star and offer a cinematic trifecta of charismatic abundance. Though the world of fast fashion is satirized, the film itself is an ode to the creation of clothes. Lead by revered costume designer Shirley Kurata, each outfit acts as an ASMR massage for the artistic brain — the colors, the shapes, the combinations! Rent it now and prepare to gear up, get loose, and bliss out.
