Best since "Do The Right Thing"

Rating: Null/10 (8 July 1999)

This is Spike Lee's finest work in a long time. Personal, moving, well-told. It touched me more deeply than any other movie last year. (Well, "Babe: Pig in the City" came close.) Fine work all around from the cast and crew. The single shot cemetery scene will devastate you. A truly spiritual, emotional, wonderful film. (The only flaw is the superfluous and badly-delivered monologue about mid-way through the film. The writing is pretty good, the visuals are terrific, but the actor is not up to the task.)
