Movie Reviews

Jam! Movies - 10/10 by Bruce KirklandBamboozled is a satire with a bite even more vicious than its bark.
New York Post - 10/10 by Lou LumenickSpike Lee's explosive, near-masterpiece media satire balances between brilliance and incoherence.
Greenwich Village Gazette - 9/10 by Eric LurioThis is either the best or worst thing [Lee has] ever done. I'm not sure, but I'm leaning to the latter side.
Baltimore Sun - 9/10 by Chris KaltenbachToo much is tossed into the ring and the last hour becomes a frantic swell of emotions and ideas, not all of which are exactly on point.
Film Threat - 9/10 by Ron WellsThe director’s new masterpiece is a summation of nearly everything he has learned as a filmmaker, and about black culture, but he doesn’t feel the need to beat the audience over the head for each lesson he’s trying to impart.
New York Observer - 9/10 by Andrew SarrisIf Mr. Lee meant to bring back blackface entertainment as a metaphor for the current black performers he finds obnoxious, he has miscalculated.
Philadelphia City Paper - 8/10 by Cynthia FuchsThe story that Bamboozled tells could hardly be more urgent or timely.
Filmcritic.com - 8/10 by Jeremiah KippBamboozled, for all its numerous and frustrating flaws, is important viewing. It's a film which says, in no uncertain terms, that there are some things we must not forget.
Gay Chicago Magazine - 8/10 by Jonathan LewisSatire requires a subtle touch, and Lee is so defiant and reactionary that he fairly bludgeons the material to death.
Variety - 8/10 by Emanuel LevyOccasionally biting but excessively melodramatic.
