CRITICS OF "He Got Game"

Reeling Reviews

Lee paints intimate characters who are about more than the game. Themes of integrity, honesty, loyalty and familial love are woven through the film resulting in a complex, thought-provoking human drama.

April 09, 2005

Resource

New York Observer

At the end of Mr. Lee's movie, all you feel is the distraction of Mr. Lee's stylistic exhibitionism, without which, I concede, he might not be regarded as a genius in some quarters.

April 27, 2007

Resource

rec.arts.movies.reviews

A long, boring, meandering, dog of a movie.

January 07, 2009

Resource

San Francisco Chronicle

Washington's Jake Shuttlesworth looks tough and hard, an odd but refreshing turn for an actor long associated with handsomely heroic roles.

June 18, 2002

Resource

TV Guide

Though too long by a good half hour, Lee's latest film packs a genuine emotional punch.

March 25, 2007

Resource

Film4

Lee's attack on how big business is not only ruining the game he loves but also playing with people's lives is direct and brave, while his passion, insight and intelligence are evident and admirable.

March 25, 2008

Resource

rec.arts.movies.reviews

Flawed but powerful.

June 07, 2004

Courier-Journal (Louisville, KY)

Shrewdly exposes the underbelly of college recruiting and the pressures exerted on talented high school basketball stars.

June 28, 2004

Resource

Time Out

Most scenes play too long, with a surplus of ideas, textures, tones and characters, and after 134 minutes it's clear Lee's problem with closure hasn't gone away.

February 09, 2006

Resource

Variety

Lacking the moral indignation and militant politics of Lee's former work, this vibrantly colorful father-son melodrama is soft at the center, but it's one of the most accessible films Lee has made and Denzel Washington is terrific.

March 25, 2008

Slate

[Lee] gets a charming performance from Allen, who, in his acting debut, occupies his pedestal with grace and diffidence.

March 25, 2007

Chicago Reader

As usual, Lee tries many kinds of stylistic effects and uses wall-to-wall music (by Aaron Copland and Public Enemy); what's different this time is how personally driven the story feels.
