Critic Reviews

The film is inspirational and educational - and it is also entertaining, as movies must be before they can be anything else.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-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]Full Review

Vincent Canby
The New York Times

A spiritually enriching testament to the human capacity for change -- and surely Spike Lee's most universally appealing film.Full Review

Desson Thomson
Washington Post

A mortal movie about an immortal subject and the very fact that it succeeds as well as it does is a testament to Lee's skills as a filmmaker.Full Review
