Critic Reviews of "Summer of Sam"
Chicago ReaderSeptember 23, 2008Like most of Lee's work, this bites off more than it can chew, but the breadth and energy are impressive.
New York ObserverApril 27, 2007This is trashy exploitation at its clumsiest. Once more, a Spike Lee movie has been undone by the earnestness of being important.
Time OutJune 24, 2006Trouble is, the overlong narrative, however entertaining from minute to minute, is a mess.
Globe and MailMarch 22, 2002The disappointment with Summer of Sam is not that it's exploitative; it's just difficult to figure out what it's supposed to be about.
Los Angeles TimesFebruary 14, 2001Lee is a powerful filmmaker who certainly knows how to have an impact on an audience, but those who survive his ministrations are likely to wonder if in this case the battle was worth the bruises.
Detroit NewsJanuary 01, 2000Summer of Sam scatters most of its force by straying far from the compelling, plenty-complex business at hand.
Film4September 23, 2008This ultimately disappoints, but it is good to see Lee branch out into subjects which don't immediately lend themselves to his single-minded politicizing.
Sacramento News & ReviewAugust 07, 2008The film is sloppy and ill-formed, its tone lurching drunkenly from turgid soap opera to soft-core porn, descending at times to low camp.
Combustible CelluloidMay 26, 2006I needed stronger and more balanced characters to really care what happened.
Film ThreatDecember 06, 2005Whatever you think of Spike Lee, when he has the faith in his talent and material and is able to be political without the dogma, he's one of the best filmmakers to come out of America in the 1980's.
Reeling ReviewsApril 09, 2005Lee does capture the terror a serial killer can wreak upon the community, but his concentration on the weak characters hurts in the long run.
