Reviews


75
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
Poetic Justice is not ["Boyz N the Hood's"] equal, but does not aspire to be; it is a softer, gentler film, more of a romance than a commentary on social conditions.
67
Austin Chronicle - Unnamed
Subtitled “A Street Romance,” writer-director Singleton's sophomore effort touches the heart more when it's on the street than when it's making romance.
63
ReelViews - James Berardinelli
Some of Poetic Justice is quite good, if unspectacular, and the dialogue has a consistent ring of truth.
63
Rolling Stone - Peter Travers
If Singleton, 25, stumbles, it is over ambition and not the complacency of a new Hollywood hotshot riding a trend.
60
The New York Times - Vincent Canby
Although its aspirations are high, the film works only fitfully when Mr. Singleton exercises his gift for vernacular speech, for finding the comic undertow in otherwise tragic situations, and even for parody.
