Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Lee is a powerful filmmaker who certainly knows how to have an impact on an audience, but those who survive his ministrations are likely to wonder if in this case the battle was worth the bruises.
– Kenneth Turan,

rotten:
The disappointment with Summer of Sam is not that it's exploitative; it's just difficult to figure out what it's supposed to be about.
– Liam Lacey,
Globe and Mail,
22 Mar 2002
rotten:
Trouble is, the overlong narrative, however entertaining from minute to minute, is a mess.
– Geoff Andrew,
Time Out,

rotten:
This is trashy exploitation at its clumsiest. Once more, a Spike Lee movie has been undone by the earnestness of being important.
– Andrew Sarris,

Like most of Lee's work, this bites off more than it can chew, but the breadth and energy are impressive.
