Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Instead of dramatizing injustice, Van Peebles merchandizes it.
– Vincent Canby,
New York Times,
21 May 2003
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
fresh:
A shrewd and powerful mix of commercial ingredients and ideological intent.
– Dave Kehr,
