I thought this was about vaccines when I first read the thread title.

Super excited about this. Great trailer and great cast. Looks like a lot of fun. Nice to see Demi Moore getting some good roles again.

Boots Riley is a boss!! Both in film and music

Getting good reviews in advance of its May 22 release.

Hearing this is likely to be the AMC Screen Unseen this Monday, 5/11.

I'd like to take the gamble, but I Love Boosters says it's 1hr 44 min, and the Screen Unseen says it's 1hr 52 mins.

The times are never exact. It's always within 10 min

Re: I Love Boosters (2026, D: Boots Riley)

I was disappointed my local theatre wasn't getting this for at least a full-week run, showing it instead only Saturday and Sunday for an early-morning 10am matinee.

I am so glad I made the effort to get up early to go see this.

This is one of those rare movies that just gets better and better as it goes along; continuing to expand on its premise, seamlessly adding more story elements and inventions.

ILB is rich with everything you want in a movie; characters, visuals you haven't seen before, colourful, funny humor. It's a very political film, but first and foremost it is an entertaining film.

I don't want to do a disservice to either film by saying this surpasses Nirvana The Band The Show The Movie for inventiveness/humor/entertainment, but these two movies mark 2026 as a great year for movies. Together they'd make a perfect double-feature.

I feel so happy and elated by ILB.This is a special movie, filled with surprises, you should go see it immediately, even at 10am in the morning.

Very glad to hear. My local theater isn't playing it either and I have my daughter this week. Will be seeing it Tuesday or Wednesday though.

thanks for the great review. Yeah they really shouldn't have put this out on Memorial Day weekend up against Star Wars.

My local theater had like 1 PM and 8 PM shows on Saturday and Sunday and that's it

The reactions from this are of course all over the place because it's such a weird and wild movie.

In keeping with Sorry to Bother You, this is an insane movie.

I look forward to Abob Teff's wife's review.

Watched this a few days ago and it's just insane filmmaking in the best way. Love the practical effects and the colors were POPPING!! The whole cast was great and my audience was cracking up throughout most of it.

So mad I didn’t get out to the theater for the one week this was playing. Will be buying it blind whenever it comes out.

This played for ONE week at my local theater too. All the screens for Backrooms knocked it out, probably Yoda didn't help either.

As I mentioned above, my theatre only had two screenings... but the drive-in ran it, paired up with HOKUM. The movie has such bright photography I bet it looked pretty good at the drive-in.
