Critic Reviews of "Chi-Raq"
Toronto StarMarch 18, 2016Lee returns to engaging, enraged form with Chi-Raq, combining social commentary, anger, humour, dramatics and over-the-top style in a sometimes messy mix that uses every trick necessary to put a spotlight on America's poisonous love affair with guns.
Globe and MailMarch 18, 2016Lee's film is worth seeing for its bombastic excess and camo-clad dance scenes. But if you're looking for tactful visual responses to the Black Lives Matter movement and the effects of police brutality, this isn't it.
TIME MagazineDecember 10, 2015It's messy in places, as Lee's movies tend to be. But there isn't a moment that Chi-Raq isn't alive. This is a deeply serious, biting picture that also has joy in its heart.
New YorkerDecember 07, 2015You long for "Chi-Raq" to succeed. Sad to report, it's an awkward affair, stringing out its tearful scenes of mourning, and going wildly astray with its lurches into farce.
New York Magazine/VultureDecember 04, 2015It's sexy, brash, and potent - a powerful weapon in its own right.
Financial TimesDecember 27, 2016It's a mess. But it makes an impression. Chi-Raq has the force of topical-art inevitability. If it didn't exist, you feel, someone would have had to invent it.
Film Ireland MagazineDecember 08, 2016While Chi-Raq may not be for everyone, it certainly exhibits a strong passion for artistic creativity that never falters for a second.
Movie TalkDecember 06, 2016There's genuine outrage behind Lee's angry blast of hip-hop agitprop, and his fury has good cause... Unfortunately, his film is also a gaudy mess.
Observer (UK)December 04, 2016This overlong picture is already repetitive and unfocused by the second act; by the third, it has made its point a thousand times over.
