Boots Riley’s new film, I Love Boosters, starring Keke Palmer and Demi Moore, received a perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes after its debut at SXSW 2026.
I Love Boosters is a one-of-a-kind sci-fi thriller with a darkly comedic edge. The movie centers around The Velvet Gang, a crew of talented thieves, and their plan to take down a ruthless fashion mogul. Through its sharp satire, the film critiques the fashion world and tackles important themes like wealth gaps, corporate corruption, and social injustice.
Riley’s new film, I Love Boosters, premiered at SXSW to overwhelmingly positive reviews. It currently has a perfect 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes, with critics praising its humor, strong cast, and Riley’s skillful direction. The film is considered one of the standout successes of the festival so far.
Initial festival showings often receive very positive feedback because fewer people are watching. Still, achieving a perfect score, even with a smaller audience, is a significant accomplishment and could generate excitement and attract more viewers when I Love Boosters comes out on May 22, 2026.
The positive reception to Riley’s new film is similar to the success of his first feature, Sorry to Bother You, which was a hit in 2018. That film received a lot of praise for its insightful political messages and established Riley as a unique and creative voice. Early reviews of I Love Boosters indicate critics are again appreciating his style of clever, satirical filmmaking.
This movie adds to Palmer’s streak of successful projects. She’s recently starred in popular films like Jordan Peele’s Nope, and her work has established her as a talented and versatile actor who can excel in a variety of roles.
Recently, Moore has seen a significant career comeback. Her work in the horror film The Substance was a critical hit, earning a 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes after premiering at the Cannes Film Festival. The film quickly became a standout genre release of the year and remarkably received five Academy Award nominations, including Best Actress and Best Picture—an unusual achievement for a horror film. In 2025, The Substance won the Oscar for Best Makeup and Hairstyling.
I Love Boosters will premiere in theaters on May 22, 2026.
