The New York Times -
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 -
The film is inspirational and educational - and it is also entertaining, as movies must be before they can be anything else.
|
|
Washington Post -
A spiritually enriching testament to the human capacity for change -- and surely Spike Lee's most universally appealing film.
|
|
Washington Post -
Lee's finest, most unabashed labor of love.

|
TV Guide Magazine -
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.
