Review of Chi-Raq (2015)

By Kristian M. Lin (336) for Fort Worth Weekly (325) on 03 Dec 2015

Chi-Raq hits often enough to keep Spike Lee current with the times…

Review of Chi-Raq (2015)

By Colin Covert (1,936) for Minneapolis Star Tribune (2,416) on 03 Dec 2015

Playful and piteous, touching and tragic, full of sound moral judgment and thigh-slapping wit, it's a film of sharp intelligence examining…

Review of Chi-Raq (2015)

By Cary Darling (452) for Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com (553) on 03 Dec 2015

There are many words and phrases to describe Chi-Raq. Preachy. Ambitious. Polarizing. Didactic. Maddening. Uneven. Strident. Surreal…

Review of Chi-Raq (2015)

By Matt Pais (1,519) for RedEye (906) on 03 Dec 2015

Part sermon, part stand-up special and entirely, bizarrely entertaining…

Review of Chi-Raq (2015)

By Mark Hughes (145) for Forbes (586) on 03 Dec 2015

[A]n important, engaging, heartbreaking, and enraging film -- but always entertaining, always visually striking, lyrically impressive, and…

Review of Chi-Raq (2015)

By Josh Bell (1,421) for Las Vegas Weekly (1,340) on 03 Dec 2015

Chi-Raq, like so many Lee joints, is a jumble of ideas and approaches that clash and fall flat more often than they connect…

Review of Chi-Raq (2015)

By Matt Zoller Seitz (637) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 02 Dec 2015

The movie is angry and horrified and mournful but also warm, sensual, life affirming, and so blisteringly funny that critics and political…

Review of Chi-Raq (2015)

By Amy Nicholson (961) for L.A. Weekly (3,142) on 02 Dec 2015

Chi-Raq is a marvel. It's Lee resurrecting his voice — angry, impassioned, and funny as hell — right when we need to hear it…

Review of Chi-Raq (2015)

By Bill Goodykoontz (2,123) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 02 Dec 2015

It is intense and uneven, moving and maddening, all in just about equal measure. But an angry Lee is an interesting Lee, and he’s really angry here…

Review of Chi-Raq (2015)

By Stephen Whitty (1,794) for New York Daily News (5,623) on 02 Dec 2015

Jackson is terrific, of course, although he's the spice here, not the main meal…

Review of Chi-Raq (2015)

By Tasha Robinson (753) for The Verge (432) on 02 Dec 2015

Hudson has nothing but sadness to sell, but she brings it across beautifully. Jackson has become strutting personified…

Review of Chi-Raq (2015)

By Joshua Rotter (5) for SF Weekly (560) on 02 Dec 2015

What Aristophanes left to interpretation using ambiguity and metaphor, Lee beats down our throats, which sucks any fun right out of the film…

Review of Chi-Raq (2015)

By Rebecca Pahle (171) for Film Journal International (5,095) on 02 Dec 2015

A powerful political call-to-arms (or call-away-from-arms) is dulled, but never entirely diminished, by an inconsistent third act…

Review of Chi-Raq (2015)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 02 Dec 2015

So up-to-the-minute about our times, especially black-on-black urban gun violence in Chicago, that it has a great diss on Ben Carson…

Review of Chi-Raq (2015)

By Sam C. Mac (54) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 01 Dec 2015

A Spike Lee joint in the urgent sociopolitical register of Radio Raheem's boombox—a call to arms that's also a call to disarm…

Review of Chi-Raq (2015)

By Leor Galil (1) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 01 Dec 2015

Lee's finished project isn't strong enough to meet the mounting complaints against it -- or say anything meaningful about the city's murder…

Review of Chi-Raq (2015)

By Travis Hopson (923) for Examiner.com (1,617) on 01 Dec 2015

Something got Lee real mad, and when he's mad he's at his best…

Review of Chi-Raq (2015)

By Rodrigo Perez (382) for The Playlist (3,871) on 30 Nov 2015

While its ambition does show a director still aspiring for great heights, its patchy execution only partly restores the faith…

Review of Chi-Raq (2015)

By Ray Pride (544) for Newcity (539) on 30 Nov 2015

Spike Lee's state-of-the-union address has ambition to burn, and it burns it to the ground…

Review of Chi-Raq (2015)

By Kam Williams (1,272) for Baret News (418) on 28 Nov 2015

The best adaptation of a classic play into ghetto fabulous fare since the inspired reinterpretation of Romeo and Juliet as Romeo Must Die (2000)…
