I Love Boosters, Boots Riley, 2026
A psychedelic sci-fi treatise on class, labor and fashion served up by Riley with a superb cast having fun with serious politics. The film bursts with color, features Ray Harryhausen style special effects and has egalitarian excellence in filmmaking.
I Love Boosters holds a funhouse mirror to One Battle After Another, exemplified by the two films' lead characters, Corvette and Perfidia Beverly Hills. Their similarities and differences are stark. Riley's politics and black woman revolutionaries, even in this absurdist kaleidoscope, are more three-dimensional and authentic than P.T. Anderson's.
Demi Moore has never been better.
See it in the theater.
Bonus takes: – Academy, remember Keke Palmer at Oscar time – The MC5's Kick Out the Jams is my needle drop of the year (so far)
