School Daze Reviews
LarsenOnFilm
Josh Larsen
Skin tone is crucial to understanding School Daze's brazenness as a major-studio film.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Although the film has big structural problems and leaves a lot of loose ends, there was never a moment when it didn't absorb me.
Slant Magazine
Eric Henderson
The film's central argument is that black matriculation is undercut by internal divisions.
Capital Times (Madison, WI)
Rob Thomas
An uneven but probably necessary stepping stone between "She's Gotta Have It" and "Do The Right Thing"
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
The film's political issues are far more interesting than its artistic attributes--this messy picture feels as if Spike Lee is just incidentally interested in what makes musical movies work
Common Sense Media
Andrea Beach
Troubling, dated dramedy has violence, strong language.
Medium Popcorn
Justin Brown
There are some technical issues that Spike brings into films...I enjoyed the conversations that came from this movie...but as a standalone film, it was boring at times.
Medium Popcorn
Brandon Collins
What a great launching pad for a lot of different actors...it's a movie that gets the conversation going, and I really liked the musical scene.
Chicago Reader
David Ehrenstein
The problem isn't with School Daze; the problem is with a white culture that cannot deal with the spectacle of blacks on-screen on their own terms.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
For every tough-minded confrontation between the different student factions, School Daze is apt to offer a love scene less than vital to the plot, or an overlong musical scene whose effect is that of treading water.
Washington Post
Rita Kempley
School Daze, with its pompous patchwork plot, is an arrogant, humorless, sexist mess.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
Spike Lee had something in mind while he shot School Daze, his follow-up to the cult hit She's Gotta Have It. Unfortunately it's still lodged behind his cranium.
Sojourner
Kate Rushin
The sexist language and images in the film are tedious and predictable.
Thrillist
Jourdain Searles
School Daze is a college musical comedy with a conscience; beneath the hijinks lies a bleeding heart for those suffering under apartheid in South Africa.
Patheos
Eve Tushnet
In practice Lee doesn't quite handle this vertiginous tone switch.
United Press International
Cathy Burke
Everything about School Daze is frantic, and the energy is addictive.
New Yorker
Richard Brody
A teeming showcase of invigorating performances...
TV Guide
A shapeless mess that falls far short of the high expectations created by Lee's first feature.
