Rating: 1.5 --
"Da Sweet Blood of Jesus" is a bold but wildly uneven, bloody mess of a film, sunk in large part by the subpar performances by nearly every major character in nearly every major role.
Chicago Sun-Times
Spike Lee's Da Sweet Blood of Jesus is a loving adaptation of Bill Gunn's 1973 Ganja & Hess.

Rating: 3/4 --
The film is a hypnotically nightmarish mood piece more than anything else; it makes sense and yet doesn't make sense, in the way that dreams do and don't make sense.

Unrepentant, uneven and unique, "Da Sweet Blood of Jesus" proves that Lee can still make a film worthy of the arguments it will most certainly start.

TheWrap
The opening images -- a solitary dancer undulating on the Red Hook waterfront, the Brooklyn Heights Promenade and other Kings County spots -- offer a reminder that no filmmaker has shot this borough as beautifully and fondly as Mr. Lee.
New York Times
[T]his return to indie roots frees up Lee's often gifted image making...
Los Angeles Times
Spike Lee, the old guard of black indie filmmaking, gets his mojo back with this classy, urbane vampireish art film that is a beauty to behold. Sophisticated, demented, eerie, erotica, prepare to be shocked and flabbergasted.
