San Francisco Chronicle
A colourful, wacked-out film. It's a movie nostalgic for a bad time.

Roger Ebert
Lee's best films thrum with a wound-up energy, and Summer of Sam vibrates with fear, guilt and lust.

Entertainment Weekly
In Summer of Sam, Spike Lee isn't interested in truth - or coherence, for that matter.

The Globe and Mail
The disappointment with Summer of Sam is not that it's exploitative; it's just difficult to figure out what it's supposed to be about.

Chicago Tribune
A terrific movie: jolting, savage, horrifically funny, nightmarishly exciting but also brainy and compassionate.
