The New York Times - Vincent Canby
Mr. Lee means for Malcolm X to be an epic, and it is in its concerns and its physical scope. In Denzel Washington it also has a fine actor who does for Malcolm X what Ben Kingsley did for “Gandhi.” [18 November 1992]

Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
The film is inspirational and educational - and it is also entertaining, as movies must be before they can be anything else.
90
Washington Post - Rita Kempley
A spiritually enriching testament to the human capacity for change -- and surely Spike Lee's most universally appealing film.
80
Washington Post - Desson Thomson
Lee's finest, most unabashed labor of love.

TV Guide Magazine - Unnamed
Lee's biography of the slain civil rights leader treats Malcolm, not as a political rallying point, but as a fully rounded individual whose life defies reduction to symbolic status.
