Scathing satire of the way the entertainment industry uses Black people

Great exploration of art, media, and race relations in America. A lesser Spike Lee joint only in reputation, not in content.

This is a furious movie. I’ve heard the word “scathing” used to describe Bamboozled a few times and I think that’s the best way to put it

My favorite Spike Lee. Such a daring black comedy that does so good of a job as a black comedy, you don't wanna laugh sometimes.

It’s a very complex topic to explore, and this movie does well exploring the relationship between Hollywood and black people.

Satire so biting that it ripped my head clean off. Hasn't aged a day.

This is an amazing black film. A satirical look into the inner dynamics of the black community. What it fails at, accomplishes, and to be fx

An amazing mix of uncomfortable and hilarious to the point where you’ll forget when to laugh and you’ll still enjoy the ride.
