Demi Moore Stuns in a High-Slit Wrap Dress With an Unexpected Ribbon Detail
Boots Riley’s satirical comedy follows a trio of shoplifters challenging a fashion mogul, blending magical realism and worker revolt in a critique of capitalism and labor exploitation.
- Writer-Director Boots Riley premiered his film I Love Boosters at the 40th edition of SXSW in Austin, Texas, opening the 2026 festival with a surreal, hyperpop satire of fashion capitalism.
- The Velvet Gang, a trio of shoplifters, raids upscale boutiques to resell designer goods, targeting fashion mogul Christie Smith, played by Demi Moore, who appropriates Black designers' creative work.
- Starring Keke Palmer, Naomi Ackie, and Taylour Paige, the film employs a 'situational accelerator'—a teleporter that exaggerates reality to its essence—propelling the narrative into Everything Everywhere All at Once territory.
- Critics describe I Love Boosters as a 'cosmic send-up of fashion consumerism' that blends sci-fi shenanigans with emotional stakes, though some subplots fail to land with sufficient impact.
- Distributor Neon has scheduled I Love Boosters for exclusive theatrical release on May 22, 2026, marking Riley's first feature since his 2018 debut, Sorry to Bother You.

'I Love Boosters' Review: Keke Palmer Steals Hearts in Boots Riley’s Galaxy-Brained, Anti-Capitalist Romp
Early on in Boots Riley’s “I Love Boosters,” a silly, scathing, scattered and bittersweet skewering of fashion, exploitation and more, we glimpse a giant boulder that seems to be hurtling towards Keke Palmer’s creative (though undervalued) fashion designer Corvette. As we soon see, this boulder is not made of stone, but of something even more crushing: the weight of capitalism. It’s made of eviction notices, the bills that pile up and all the de…
