Urgent, surreal, furious, funny and wildly messy, the movie sounds like an invitation to defeat, but it’s an improbable triumph that finds Mr. Lee doing his best work in years.
New York Times
It's inspiring to see a talent of Lee's caliber swing for the fences. Chi-Raq may not be perfect, but I can't stop thinking about it.

Memphis Flyer
4 stars out of 4 -- It is the director's first straight-up, unabashed musical since SCHOOL DAZE, his best work in at least ten years, and a culmination of tendencies we've seen percolating in his work since his 1986 debut feature SHE'S GOTTA HAVE IT.

Rating: 2/5 --
In its lesser moments, though, the film plays like a bad student revue.

Independent (UK)
It’s a shattering, thunderous wake-up alarm, a call to lay down arms, a gutsy social satire and a highly stylized work of fiction that sometimes feels as accurate and sobering as the crime reporting you see on the front page of this newspaper.
Chicago Sun-Times
Rating: B --
Spike Lee has a way of making anger incredibly thoughtful as well as entertaining.

Fresh Fiction
Rating: 3/5 --
Overall, Chi-Raq is easily Spike Lee's most daring feature - a highly energetic film that not only shines a light on American gang culture, but puts a feminist spin on pacifism.
