Moviegoers are saying
Boots Riley's latest polarizes audiences with its audacious blend of anti-capitalist satire and surreal visual spectacle, creating what critics call 'a live action leftist Looney Tunes' that's either brilliantly unhinged or completely incomprehensible. This fashion-forward heist comedy featuring Keke Palmer divides viewers between those praising its bold creativity and infectious hope, and those walking out confused by its bizarre tonal shifts and unexpected supernatural elements.

very few movies have brought forth the anti capitalist nature of 2003’s cat in the hat to the modern age while also looking like 2003’s cat in the hat

demi adejuyigbeMay 21, 2026a live action leftist looney tunes bursting at the seams with color and creativity so bold and bright to remind you it’s not just blockbusters that demand to be seen on the big screen. equal parts hysterical, brutally honest, and infectiously hopeful for the future.…

I got 3 words to describe this film: fashion forward filanthropy 😌
cinemonikaMay 23, 2026The escalator scene would never fly in real life. Everything else about the movie was realistic though

boots riley bravely asks the question: “what if the weirdest thing ever happened?”
-ˏˋ mak ˊˎ-May 18, 2026as long as Boots Riley is making movies and Shirley Kurata is making costumes then creativity and audacity will survive the Slop Wars! in many ways … this is Tenet for class-conscious stoner divas … that felt crazy to type but i’m standing by it … you’ll see … you’ll ALL…

Bruh we have to accelerate the conflict bruh I’ve been saying this. See how the movie actually makes sense and works AND is funny when the creators are ACTUALLY anti-capitalists and not freakin boot lickers (one battle after another shade). But anyway the wigs and fashion was so good my eyes were…
Aidan White lovedI Love Boosters9.2/10 boots riley man is rlly 2/2 on delivering these stylistically brilliant and fantastically bizarre social commentary films riddled with elite performances, star studded-cast, fantastic humor, and deep cultural value- this movie uses color brilliantly to display the mood of the scene and the…
desirae lovedI Love BoostersLoved the cast selection, the silly Willy Wonka like comedy, and the COLORS! I appreciate films embracing saturation. The set and costume were so fun. The ending was a great reflection the fashion industry, capitalism, the power of movement. Shout out to the ARTISTS on this one.

Loved working on this with my dad and friends! Just fellow Chinese textile workers fighting for our rights 😌
Valerie Vargas likedI Love BoostersWEIRD!!! In a good way though. Like if you are a critic you can skip this is fun with a good message
Clay Werner likedI Love Boosters7.6 - I love when directors & movies push the envelope with good politics & I apologize for judging this as “probably not for me” based only on the trailer. Solid messaging, fantastic ensemble acting, & classic absurdism all made this a great time. I didn’t love it as much as I did “Sorry to…
- Noah March is "meh" onI Love Boosters
🫎🫎🫎1/2 Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t badly produced, it’s just not for me. I didn’t find there to be that much good comedy. The factor that i was by myself in the theater could’ve been the reason, but all in all everyone in my theater was pretty silent during the showing. On the bright side,…
Jeramy likedI Love Boosters7/10 interesting movie. cool concept. very unique and stylish, as all Boots Riley art is. i love a communist king. hearing the words dialectical materialism in the theater was like a marxist dog whistle. the Candice Owen’s joke made me laugh so hard. unfortunately it drags a bit
Swati Jolly lovedI Love BoostersThis was so weird!!! I couldn’t help but love the wild journey this film takes you on, exploring how corporations prioritize profit over people and their profound disconnect from reality. If you don’t like this film, you just don’t understand fashion forward filanthropy😌☝🏼

Worst movie ever. I was hoping the Time Machine would transport me to another theater.
TFTerry FancherThis movie was the worst movie we have ever seen. Bad acting, no plot, repulsive, crude and silly. We left early, couldn't stand it anymore. deWe willwill definitely longer.
DLdeb leeI love boosters needs a booster shot of better script writing. Keke Palmer should have said no. The plot sucked. The script insulted Jesus to the point I had to walk out- gross #gotmymoneyback

Trash … they were high making this but I don’t do drugs … this is something you watch tripping balls … I’m sure the actors will still get paid but I’m mad ugh I left and went to see Michael …
ETEric ThomasTerrible, just all over the place
DSDonna StephensonThe plot was terrible. They were weird sex scenes that was unexpected. Hard to keep up with what was going on. People were falling asleep in the movie theater.

DSDonna SIt was Very Entertaining 🤣 Funny 😁

Boots Riley deserves applause for his brazen vision. . . He loses grip on the material overall, but as far as genre movies that actually turn out to be political missives go, there are worse entertainments. And with Keke Palmer at the front, you’re always in sure hands.

It is, ultimately, a film completely uninterested in subtlety. That's both to its credit and to its detriment.

I find it hard to wish Riley would rein himself in when the excess is so much a part of the film’s joy.
