Rather than feeling like a collection of fascinating ideas competing for attention, I Love Boosters is a film that knows what it wants to say and how it wants to say it. I wasn’t nearly as taken with Riley’s Sorry To Bother You as many were, which made my feelings for this one all the more surprising. It became one of the year’s biggest cinematic surprises, not just because it arrived with little fanfare, but because I never expected to connect with it this much. In a year filled with familiar franchise entries, Riley has delivered something genuinely difficult to categorize: a heist comedy that is both laugh-out-loud funny and surprisingly sharp in its observations about class and consumer culture.
