Criterion’s new transfer brings out the unruly beauty of Spike Lee’s lurid, violent, daring political satire.
It marks a specific convergence in Lee’s career, when his confidence as a filmmaker aligned with the boldness of his flourishes.
The sensibility of Spike Lee’s Netflix series offers hope for a country riven by ignorance and hatred.
A dizzying hall-of-mirrors stunt, a horror remake as autobiographical X-ray, and a fantasy that serves as a cleansing creative exorcism.
The A/V transfer and director’s commentary are worthy of sincere, ecstatic praise.
The film mostly feels like a series of vignettes where the focus is a boy’s evolving sense of community, faith, and family.
Spike Lee’s film is pitched as a wake-up call.
