Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
The first black director to break into commercial cinema, Van Peebles obviously feels deeply about black oppression. But he has chosen, paradoxically, to make the kinds of unrealistic films for which blacks have justly criticized white film-makers.
– Michael Kerbel,
Village Voice,
18 Jan 2013
fresh:
Most of the many vignettes are absorbing in themselves, notably an encounter with a white motorcycle gang.
– Variety Staff,
Variety,
26 Mar 2009
fresh:
A shrewd and powerful mix of commercial ingredients and ideological intent.
– Dave Kehr,
Chicago Reader,
13 Mar 2007
fresh:
Totally uncompromising and grindingly repetitive, the film nevertheless accumulates a kind of hallucinatory groove, with unexpected shafts of bizarre humour and vigorous, experimental new wave direction.
– Geoff Andrew,
Time Out,
24 Jun 2006
rotten:
Instead of dramatizing injustice, Van Peebles merchandizes it.
– Vincent Canby,
New York Times,
