I would like to thank Mr. Bill Duke for directing and producing an eye opening movie. So many people are living with this issue daily. This movie has an all star cast that was excellent. This movie... will open the eyes of not just the Black community but all communities affected by this epidemic. Men need to stop taking others lives in their hands. ***************** with AIDS does not appear sick from the outside only the inside. Wake up people!!! Full Review

This is a weirdly schizophrenic movie, one that's light on the murder mystery and heavy on the sermonizing.Full Review

Village Voice

The sledgehammer message is clear: Best friends can help when you need a McMansion, but only God can help when your husband needs a man.Full Review

The New York Times

So overwrought that it quickly crosses the line into unintentionally funny and never recovers.Full Review

Maitland McDonagh

TV Guide

While this actor-filmmaker has delivered such worthy films as "A Rage in Harlem" and "Deep Cover" in the past, this misbegotten effort would be instantly forgettable if not for its potential as future camp classic.Full Review

Frank Scheck

The Hollywood Reporter

Featuring eyeball-rolling performances by Vivica A. Fox, Patti LaBelle, Clifton Davis and the singularly named Leon, Cover would be a candidate for the year's most unintentionally funny movie so far - if it weren't also the most homophobic.Full Review
