Reviews

Los Angeles Times -
Stirred up impassioned debate everywhere; it would seem the greatest compliment that could be paid a stunning entertainment. [30 June 1989, Calendar, p.6-1]

Chicago Tribune -
This is a sumptuous work, from its unconventional title sequence of a woman dancing hard in the streets to its provocative ending with conflicting quotes from Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr .[30 June 1989, Friday, p.A]
|
|
Chicago Sun-Times -
It comes closer to reflecting the current state of race relations in America than any other movie of our time.

|
San Francisco Chronicle -
Has more originality, nitty-gritty humor, spirit and spunk than all the summer blockbuster retreads combined. Underneath the jousting and jiving, there's a sharp, uncompromising look at the anatomy of a race riot in the movie. [30 June 1989, Daily Notebook, p.E3]

The New York Times -
A remarkable piece of work. [30 June 1989]
