   Is Chi-Raq Spike Lee's most daring movie?

   • 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. Lee is back with Chi-Raq, his most powerful and boisterous movie in years. Chi-raq is powerful, even heart-breaking stuff wrapped in a dark, hip-hop musical comedy.

   Is 'Chi-Raq' a satire?

   • Thrillingly ambitious musical satire from the legend that is Spike Lee. "Chi-Raq" is fiercely intelligent with its farcical parable and fearless in its vicious social commentary. Messy and nauseating. Powerful, preachy, maddening but ultimately unforgettable. It's not Spike Lee's job to come up with solutions.
