   Critics consensus Spike Lee offers intense visuals but his storytelling feels crowded and overambitious. More reviews on Rotten Tomatoes

1. • • A hard-driving, combustible, collage-like drama about a notorious serial killer’s traumatic effect on New York City 22 summers ago, “Summer of Sam” is never less than absorbing but feels just a bit like yesterday’s news, both narratively and cinematically.

   Is summer of Sam a good book?

   • Summer of Sam, for all its flash and well-crafted fury, is only superficially disturbing. It's a nightmare stroll down memory lane: feel-bad nostalgia. Like most of Lee's work, this bites off more than it can chew, but the breadth and energy are impressive. Lee doesn't manage to thread the diverse anecdotes into a cohesive narrative.

   petersonreviews.com › 2024/07/29 › summer-of-sam

   Jul 29, 2024 · The two-and-a-half-hour-long Summer of Sam overly meanders for a movie with such thinly drawn characters. (Their papery quality belies the flashiness of the performances.) The diffuseness is appealing for a while, mostly because Lee is consistently good at immersing viewers in the milieus he creates. But it wears on you.

   It's pretty solid, great cast, great movie, story feels fresh and interesting, I've always liked it. It can be offensive though to some people. Tons of profanity, lots of sex and nudity, a bit of violence but it's actually nothing out of the ordinary.
