I Love Boosters
A booster, as the tagline explains, is somebody who steals clothes from a store and sells them at a discount price, aka community service. A group of them sets its sights on a cutthroat fashion maven, stealing from her stores and reselling the goods at a lower price, a practice they describe as fashion-forward philanthropy. The film treats this as comedy and crime with a science-fiction bent, and the class politics are part of the joke rather than a lecture.
Demi Moore plays Christine Smith, Keke Palmer is Corvette, Naomi Ackie is Sade, Taylour Paige is Mariah and Poppy Liu is Jianhu, with LaKeith Stanfield also in the cast. Boots Riley, who made Sorry to Bother You, directs in a similarly off-kilter register. It runs 1h 53m and is rated R.
On IMDb the film sits at 7.1 from 1751 votes, a healthy number for a comedy this strange.
