Featured Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

It is exciting to watch this movie. It is never boring. Lee is like a juggler who starts out with balls and gradually adds baseball bats, top hats and chainsaws. It's not an intellectual experience, but an emotional one. ...read the complete She Hate Me movie review at Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

Film Threat, Hollywood's Indie Voice

It is amazing to see a movie that is as ambitious and bold as Spike Lee's She Hate Me get the critical shaft, while other mindless summer movies make their way into the hearts of critics. ...read the complete She Hate Me movie review at Film Threat, Hollywood's Indie Voice

Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

Spike Lee's "She Hate Me" will get some terrible reviews. Scorched earth reviews. Its logic, style, presumption and sexual politics will be ridiculed. The Tomatometer will be down around 20. ...read the complete She Hate Me movie review at Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

ReelViews (James Berardinelli)

Even though I don't believe that She Hate Me is entirely successful, it's not without merit. It shows the dark side of being ethical in the corporate world - how it's more likely to end with thankless unemployment than with heroic plaudits. ...read the complete She Hate Me movie review at ReelViews (James Berardinelli)

ReelViews (James Berardinelli)

The premise of She Hate Me sounds like the idea behind a soft-core porn film: a heterosexual male gets paid $10,000 a pop for impregnating more than a dozen lesbians. ...read the complete She Hate Me movie review at ReelViews (James Berardinelli)

Village Voice (J. Hoberman)

Director Lee throws cold water on his own overheated fantasy scenario by having Mackie mope through every scene. What's fascinating is how She Hate Me perversely trumps its own perversity....read the complete She Hate Me (2004) review at Village Voice (J. Hoberman)

The New York Times (Stephen Holden)

Spike Lee carries his political exasperation beyond outrage into chaos. The carelessness with which he hurls his feelings about hot-button topics onto the screen is the filmmaking equivalent of last-ditch marketing: grab everything in sight, roll it up...read the complete She Hate Me (2004) review at The New York Times (Stephen Holden)
