Movie Reviews

United Press International - 9/10 by Cathy BurkeEverything about School Daze is frantic, and the energy is addictive.
LarsenOnFilm - 9/10 by Josh LarsenThe fact that Columbia Pictures produced this is hugely significant. It’s not only that School Daze is written and directed by an African-American filmmaker; it’s that it offers a black perspective outside of genre (blaxploitation) or historical fiction.
Chicago Sun-Times - 9/10 by Roger EbertAlthough the film has big structural problems and leaves a lot of loose ends, there was never a moment when it didn’t absorb me, because I felt as if I was watching the characters talk to one another, instead of to me.
Film4 - 9/10 by Film4 StaffSome of the issues get lost in the mix, but strong performances by Lee and Fishburne make this a watchable and thought-provoking venture.
Time Out - 8/10 by Derek AdamsLee has a small, intimate talent; here, he goes for the big podium and blows it.
Slant Magazine - 8/10 by Eric HendersonSchool Daze is, if nothing else, a compelling time capsule of racial politics in the late ‘80s, ethnographically sealed-off in a hothouse micro-environment (an all-black college campus) that’s as constrictive as Lee’s varying plot threads and stylistic whims are profuse.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 8/10 by Emanuel LevyThe film's political issues are far more interesting than its artistic attributes--this messy picture feels as if Spike Lee is just incidentally interested in what makes musical movies work
Washington Post - 8/10 by Rita KempleyA didactic collegiate farce -- "Animal House" with pan-African politics, and an enormously embarrassing encore. Tell an inexperienced director he's a genius, and you create Dr. Frankenstein. School Daze, with its pompous patchwork plot, is an arrogant, humorless, sexist mess.
Capital Times (Madison, WI) - 6/10 by Rob ThomasAn uneven but probably necessary stepping stone between "She's Gotta Have It" and "Do The Right Thing"
The New York Times - 5/10 by Janet MaslinNeither this anger nor Mr. Lee's daring is ever given free rein. Instead of a sharp satire or even an "Animal House" variation (since fraternity life is central to its story), School Daze is a collection of musical numbers, dramatic episodes, attempts at parody and cinematic wild cards, bound together only loosely by Mr. Lee's prevailing sense of outrage.
