Leave your thoughts about Girl 6.
| VarietyTodd McCarthy[Randle] holds the film together as best she can with her luminous presence and dignity, but can't supply the lacking subtext, past history and motivation. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonBut Girl 6 isn't what we'd expect from Spike Lee: after exhorting his fans to wake up in his early efforts, he now tempts them to hang up. |
| NewsweekJack KrollIn one of his most impudently engaging movies, Lee's heroine has a lot of sex—on the telephone. |
| USA TodayMike ClarkFrenetic but lazily conceived, it's like one of those puny low-budget toss-offs Brian De Palma used to spring on us when he thought nobody was looking. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanLee, I'm afraid, hasn't a clue. He has made half a movie, a phone-sex comedy in which the heroine has no real existence apart from the phone. |
| Reeling ReviewsRobin CliffordI can't fault Spike Lee on this one. This is his first film where he did not get a writing credit -- and it shows. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliUnfortunately, while certain aspects of Girl 6 are handled with flair, the film's dramatic scope too often isn't compelling enough for subject matter of such rich and varied possibilities. |
| The New York TimesJanet MaslinMr. Lee isn't as successful at shaping a story around Girl 6, but enjoying her company is all his slender, sunny film really tries to do. |
| Village VoiceJ. HobermanStrongly told stories have a way of carrying their characters along with them. But here we have an undefined character in an aimless story. Too bad. |
| Boston GlobeJay CarrIt's a mess alright, but it's easy on the eyes. Like phone sex is for the ears. Only not as much fun. |
