Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Lee is a great self-promoter. After all his press releases and all his interviews, we are given films that are sketchy, unfelt and distancing -- incidents in Lee's career, the only drama that really interests him.

rotten:
The key problem is that the film is simply a ragged series of anecdotal sketches.

fresh:
It's the first Spike Lee film with the potential to be turned into a television show. More important, it's the first one to display real warmth of heart.

fresh:
This remarkable movie will haunt you for a good long time.

Rolling Stone,

fresh:
Modulating from heavy to light, from angry to lyrical, and so on, the movie's an enjoyable, emotional symphony.
