Leave your thoughts about Passing Strange.
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertI can't single out a performance. This is a superb ensemble, conveying hat joy actors feel when hey know they're good in good material. This is not a traditional feature, but it's one of Spike Lee's best films. |
| Rolling StonePeter TraversAs for Lee, he clearly relates to this material and the questions of political, musical and family identity he himself raised in films as diverse as "Malcolm X," "Mo' Better Blues" and "Crooklyn." |
| The New York TimesA.O. ScottA show not simply preserved by Mr. Lee’s camera, but brought, somehow, to its fullest, strangest, most electrifying realization. |
| Village VoiceScott FoundasPassing Strange conjures a rare kind of theatrical magic with its emotionally raw, frequently euphoric portrait of the artist as a young man. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJustin LoweIn directing the film, Lee allows the show's inherent vitality to carry the doc, relying on Stew's charismatic stage presence, the cast's absorbing performances and the production's effective combination of minimal staging and impressive lighting design to convey the musical's energetic celebration of artistic discovery. |
| The A.V. ClubNoel MurrayLee doesn’t exactly reinvent the wheel when it comes to filming live theater, but he moves the camera artfully and edits with an energy that matches the music. |
| New York PostLou LumenickBasically canned musical theater, but this is one Tony-winning Broadway show that's well worth preserving and seeing. |
| Time OutStephen GarrettRousing, devastating, invigorating, painful, joyful, soulful--all those adjectives don’t even begin to describe Passing Strange, but it’s a start. |
| VarietyDennis HarveyThis first-rate multicamera transcript of a terrific show should delight musical fans (and many who think they aren't) as a niche broadcast item. |
| New York Magazine (Vulture)David EdelsteinThe cutting is hyperkinetic, yet Lee is always in synch with the cast’s phenomenal energy. He’s in their thrall--and so are we. |
