Movie Reviews

Flipside Movie Emporium - 10/10 by Rob VauxUnfocused and too long by half, but Washington's performance is hypnotic.
Apollo Guide - 10/10 by Brian WebsterDenzel Washington becomes Malcolm X. He delivers speeches the way we imagine Malcolm delivering them.
Kansas City Kansan - 10/10 by Steve CrumControversial, compelling story...Spike Lee in good form.
Matinee Magazine - 10/10 by Chuck RudolphDenzel Washington commands the screen and Spike Lee commands the medium, but the film wears out its welcome by the halfway mark.
LarsenOnFilm - 10/10 by Josh LarsenWashington has never been better, capturing the greatly varied phases of Malcolm’s personality while always giving us a full sense of a single man: sharp, smart, with a quick smile but also a simmering, righteous anger.
Combustible Celluloid - 10/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonThe perfect combination of epic and personal, intimate and spectacular.
Groucho Reviews - 10/10 by Peter CanaveseSpike Lee called 1992's Malcolm X "the picture I was born to make," and star Denzel Washington referred to the titular civil-rights leader as "the role of a lifetime." They're both right...[Blu-ray]
Entertainment Weekly - 10/10 by Owen GleibermanWith Malcolm X, Lee has created a galvanizing political tragedy, the story of a leader who, through his very perception and daring, recognized that death — and only death — would be his final evolution.
The New York Times - 10/10 by Vincent CanbyThe film is inspirational and educational - and it is also entertaining, as movies must be before they can be anything else.
The Spectator - 10/10 by Vanessa LettsThere is too much of a painting-by-numbers, biopic feel to the way the story is unfolded for us.
