Movie Reviews

New Times - 9/10 by Luke Y. ThompsonFor anyone who's been to USC, it's a pretty hilarious parody of life there. If you take it as presented, however, it's over-dramatic and unbelievable.
Film Threat - 8/10 by Brad LaidmanHigher Learning is John Singleton's interracial state of today's campuses version of School Daze minus the musical numbers. Surprisingly, it's just as much a gang movie if not more than Boyz 'n the Hood.
Variety - 8/10 by Todd McCarthyHigher Learning has a great many things on its mind, which immediately places it in a rather exclusive category of American films these days.
Newsweek - 8/10 by David AnsenHigher Learning sells its soul (and its brain) for overwrought melodrama.
Rolling Stone - 8/10 by Peter TraversHigher Learning is seriously intended and seriously flawed. Singleton tends to shout his objectives. But in an era of cop-out escapism, it is gratifying to find a filmmaker who is spoiling to be heard.
San Francisco Examiner - 8/10 by David ArmstrongStill, Singleton's willingness to take risks makes this a worthy, thoughtful film. Especially noteworthy: His sensitive handling of a love triangle between Kristen and her boyfriend and Kristen and another woman.
Chicago Sun-Times - 8/10 by Roger EbertSingleton's film is interesting for a lot of reasons, but especially because he stands outside this campus system and looks at it with a detached eye.
Christian Science Monitor - 8/10 by David SterrittThe film treats realistic subjects in a stylized way, putting its main energy into exploring ideas rather than building emotional power. [13 Jan 1995, p.B]
Chicago Reader - 6/10 by Jonathan RosenbaumAiming at a microcosm of American life comparable in some ways to Do the Right Thing, Singleton can't quite justify or explicate his parting message ("unlearn"), but his passion is exemplary.
The New York Times - 6/10 by Janet MaslinHigher Learning culminates in facile violence instead of the assurance that this film maker, in trying to explain forces that oppress his characters, has really done his homework.
