Critic Reviews

As well-directed a film as you'll see from America this year, an unsentimental and yet completely involving story of a young man who cannot see a way around his fate.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

Nothing the Hughes brothers have done in their videos for Tone Loc, Tupac Shakur and others prepares you for the controlled intensity and maturity they bring to their stunning feature debut.Full Review

Peter Travers
Rolling Stone

Bleak, brilliant, and unsparing.Full Review

Owen Gleiberman
Entertainment Weekly

Fierce, violent and searing in its observation, the film makes previous excursions seem like a stroll through the park.Full Review

Variety

Though brilliant, Menace II Society is definitely a film to guard yourself against. There's not a trace of softness or sentimentality. At times, the picture takes on the scary you-are-there verisimilitude of a tabloid-TV show.Full Review
