Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Spike Lee has made a disappointingly conventional and sluggish film in Malcolm X.
– Todd McCarthy,
Variety,
6 Jan 2010
rotten:
Benefits from a lively lead performance by the miscast Denzel Washington but doesn't come within light years of the book, one of the greatest American autobiographies.
– Jonathan Rosenbaum,
Chicago Reader,
6 Jan 2010
fresh:
Lee and company have performed a powerful service: they have brought Malcolm X very much to life again, both as man and myth.
– David Ansen,
Newsweek,
18 Oct 2008
rotten:
Lee sketches Malcolm's life colorfully, if by the numbers. But he falls victim to the danger of movie biography: he elevates Malcolm's importance until the vital historical context is obscured.
– Richard Corliss,
TIME Magazine,
23 Sep 2008
fresh:
It plays surprisingly safe as a solidly crafted trawl through the didactic/hagiographic conventions of the mainstream biopic.
