Movie Reviews

TheMovieReport.com - 10/10 by Michael DequinaMore than anything else, Summer of Sam is a portrait of its chosen time period, the hot New York summer of 1977. And what a vivid portrait it is.
Chicago Tribune - 10/10 by Michael WilmingtonThis is a terrific movie: jolting, savage, horrifically funny, nightmarishly exciting but also brainy and compassionate.
Cinemaphile.org - 9/10 by David KeyesI'm not one of the many admirers of Spike Lee's work, but his emphasis on small details and the depiction of a tensely-approached summer is obvious evidence of his growth as a movie director.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer - 9/10 by William ArnoldLee's control and storytelling flair have never seemed more assured and there are moments so powerful and thrilling we feel we're in the hands of a master filmmaker at the peak of his powers.
The A.V. Club - 9/10 by Keith PhippsLee at his best, a virtuoso piece of filmmaking that's stylish, substantial, and rich in detail.
Chicago Sun-Times - 9/10 by Roger EbertLee has a wealth of material here, and the film tumbles through it with exuberance.
Screen It! - 9/10 by Jim JudyMakes you want to go home and shower with some sort of antiseptic cleanser instead of marvel over its artistic merits.
TNT's Rough Cut - 9/10 by Morgan FouchA visually stunning depiction of what paranoia and violence can do to a town that thrives on normalcy and order.
Aisle Seat - 9/10 by Mike McGranaghanA spellbinding account of how fear causes illogical reactions, and how illogical reactions cause impulsive actions which, in turn, are just as dangerous as a serial killer.
Looking Closer - 8/10 by Jeffrey OverstreetThe story makes very important points, and shows us a graphic parable of the wages of sin. But the ugliness along the way will be too much for some viewers....
