- Eiza González posted on Instagram praising director Boots Riley for his boundless mind and intellect, calling him an inspiration.
- Eiza González said she loves I Love Boosters because it is an original movie with a strong point of view that both says something and entertains, and she thanked Neon for making it happen.
- Eiza González described the cast as "most talented and kind" and thanked Boots Riley for seeing her as an artist and giving her the chance to try new stuff.
- I Love Boosters follows a group of shoplifters who steal from a cutthroat fashion maven and resell the clothes at lower prices; the film stars Keke Palmer, Demi Moore, LaKeith Stanfield, Naomi Ackie, Taylour Paige, Poppy Liu, Will Poulter, Jason Ritter, and Don Cheadle.
Why it matters: Boots Riley and Neon gain credibility and publicity from González’s enthusiastic endorsement, while the ten‑star cast enjoys heightened visibility; the buzz could translate into stronger box‑office performance and encourage studios to back more original, POV‑driven projects.
