Da 5 Bloods is proof the Vietnam War genre is still ripe for fascinating stories, thanks to great performances and Lee being at the top of his craft. Read more

Da 5 Bloods is difficult and messy, as Spike Lee films often are. But it’s also urgent and powerful, vibrantly alive in its contradictions — a bold statement made as only Lee can make it.

Spike Lee’s Da 5 Bloods is a great must-watch film about the African-American war experience and postwar trauma that feels incredibly timely. Read more

Even with some of its issues, Da 5 Bloods is Spike Lee producing in his own unique way and at a very high level even after all this time. Read more

As is always the case with Lee’s films, even the most overtly political, deeply felt performances give the message meaning. The entire cast is excellent, but Delroy Lindo is transcendent. Read more

Re-teaming with his fellow Oscar-winning BlacKkKlansman writer Kevin Wilmott, Spike Lee puts his pungent poetry into a war film setting with dauntless theatrical results. Read more

There's enough here to fill out a bloated-bellied Sunday afternoon on the couch with your old man, and veterans of combat may find themselves raising a glass in memory of their own Normans. Read more

De thematiek van de film, hoe relevant deze ook mag wezen, ligt er hierdoor soms te dik bovenop en er wordt teveel op door gehamerd. Deze valkuil is echter niet nieuw voor Spike Lee producties. Desondanks schuilt er in Da 5 Bloods een krachtig verhaal, één die met alle recente gebeurtenissen in de wereld zeker gezien moet worden. Read more

Met Da 5 Bloods gaat Spike Lee zoals steeds de activistische toer op, wat ideaal kijkvoer is tijdens deze Black Lives Matter. Maar moet het echt zo langdradig zijn, Spike? Read more

De film gaat nooit echt vervelen, maar is langs de andere kant ook niet meeslepend genoeg om 2 uur en 35 minuten de aandacht bij de les te houden. Read more

Alhoewel Lee een groot aantal onderwerpen de revue laat passeren en stijlen door elkaar mixt, resulteren de verschillende onderdelen niet tot een groter geheel. Read more

De film voelt als een gehaast project. Wellicht wil Lee meegaan nu BLM wereldwijd weer oplaait; meeliften op de actualiteit. Had de tijd genomen om kritisch naar je film te kijken Lee, hij kon er alleen maar beter van worden. Read more
