Reviews


80
The Guardian - Charles Bramesco
This high-gloss take on Gordon Parks Jr’s funky vision of the hustle goes so far into sheer, unabashed rap-video excess that calling it gratuitous would miss the point. Until it suddenly, brutally isn’t.
75
Consequence of Sound - Randall Colburn
As was the case with the majority of blaxploitation films, the original Super Fly’s appeal wasn’t in its story so much as the ways in which it carved out an unapologetically black vision that served to capture a particular era in terms of its themes, music, and fashion. X has done that here, but he’s also crafted a crowd-pleasing summer blockbuster that will appeal to the modern filmgoer.
70
TheWrap - Inkoo Kang
Sure, young star Trevor Jackson (“Grown-ish,” “American Crime”) can’t fill O’Neal’s effortlessly dapper, achingly world-weary shoes, and few movie soundtracks can rival Curtis Mayfield’s legendary album for the first “Super Fly.” But this is a remake worthy of its original.
70
Los Angeles Times - Justin Chang
Superfly may be suffused with political fury, but it is also unapologetically awash in cheap, disreputable B-movie thrills.
67
IndieWire - David Ehrlich
It works because the characters keep things anchored to some kind of dramatic reality.
