The new film by director Boots Riley, "I Love Boosters," has caught the attention of cinephiles and is already being called one of the strangest and most discussed premieres of 2026. The lead roles are played by Demi Moore and Keke Palmer, and critics describe the project as a vibrant mix of social satire, absurdity, and provocative humor.
The plot tells the story of a group of professional shoplifters known as "boosters." However, the film's characters are not stealing solely for their own gain. Each of them is trying to solve personal problems, make a living, and simultaneously support their community. But the familiar crime story gradually transforms into a completely unpredictable and surreal adventure.
The film is directed by Boots Riley, known for his movie "Sorry to Bother You." His new work once again combines sharp social themes with an unusual visual style and grotesque plot twists.
In addition to Demi Moore and Keke Palmer, the film features Naomi Ackie, Taylor Paige, Poppy Liu, Eiza González, Lakeith Stanfield, Will Poulter, and Don Cheadle. The film was first presented at the SXSW festival, quickly attracting the attention of critics and audiences due to its unconventional presentation.
According to reviewers, "I Love Boosters" is unlikely to appeal to fans of classic cinema; however, enthusiasts of bold auteur experiments will surely appreciate the blend of dark comedy, social critique, and unrestrained imagination that characterizes Boots Riley's work.
