SF Weekly
3 stars out of 4 -- The movie follows the template of its source material, Bill Gunn's cult favorite GANJA AND HESS, pretty closely, and even evokes its sorrowful, romantic, dreamy tone as it portrays a love affair between two bloodlusting individuals...

Praise God. Da Sweet Blood of Jesus is Spike Lee's freest-feeling endeavor in a spell.

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.
