Review of SuperFly (2018)

By Tim Brayton (2,283) for Alternate Ending (372) on 02 Jul 2018

As dodgy, doomed to fail remakes go, Superfly actually does a pretty good job justifying its own existence…

Review of SuperFly (2018)

By K. Austin Collins (343) for Vanity Fair (761) on 28 Jun 2018

It’s not a remake so much as a juicy, larger-than-life update—a movie whose aim is to bring the Super Fly myth up to speed…

Review of SuperFly (2018)

By Trey Mangum (6) for Slashfilm (971) on 26 Jun 2018

The end result is a pristinely-crafted remake with solid lead performances that is not hard to watch, but still could have been better…

Review of SuperFly (2018)

By Annlee Ellingson (847) for L.A. Biz (397) on 21 Jun 2018

Review of SuperFly (2018)

By Juanma Fernández París (79) for El Nuevo Día (76) on 17 Jun 2018

Review of SuperFly (2018)

By Craig D. Lindsey (161) for Village Voice (8,525) on 14 Jun 2018

By Christy Lemire (1,262) for What the Flick?! (134) on 14 Jun 2018

By Brian Thompson (55) for The Young Folks (1,024) on 14 Jun 2018

An insufferably goofy piece of storytelling, yet it lacks any of its predecessor's campy charm…

Review of SuperFly (2018)

By Dan Lybarger (786) for Arkansas Democrat-Gazette (1,391) on 14 Jun 2018

The new film takes an interesting '70s curio and proves that it doesn't fit our age all that well…

Review of SuperFly (2018)

By Dawn Burkes (7) for Dallas Morning News (1,592) on 13 Jun 2018

Superfly has a long way to go to be considered a great movie, but it's not a particularly bad one, either…
