User Reviews
A very impactful message contained in this film that will, unfortunately, continue to be relevant. Amazing performances & great characters.
Finally, a movie that shows me the true talents of Spike Lee!
It watches more like a theater production than a film, which adds a really unique viewing experience. A solid ‘good’ film imo
Could have been made today, this is a fun and insightful hang out movie until it’s suddenly not. Captures NYC’s beauty and pain perfectly
A true "must watch" film. Tho Spike Lee is the acting weak link here, he makes up for it in story and direction. Only the fashion has aged.
Classic film. This one is for the masses. BIBLE CINEMA
Honestly a slice of life masterpiece, probably one of the best movies ever
Really engaging all the way through, Spike Lee’s masterpiece is well acted and edited with a sharp and important message.
This is one of spike Lee’s best. It’s a prolific take on the human condition. A dark take on how easy it is to turn on each other. Deep C it
Troubling ambiguity in a setting that's aged like fine wine. Do the Right Thing subverts expectations quite well and leaves a strong mark.
