Aug 22, 2021Spike Lee's documentary joint is a timeless piece of literature that must be seen after the **** we're currently dealing with right now. It's bold, depressing, and masterfully provocative that captures today's struggles in modern day pandemic America. And this is the documentary feature that needs to be seen on the big screen!

Aug 24, 2021Reverse racism at its best. The universal leftist playbook advertising that Trump could’ve handled the pandemic better is getting old. Whites and blacks have the same opportunities and are equal in their potential to make mistakes.

Lee’s interviews — with hundreds of people, from high elected officials to heavy-equipment operators at ground zero — are warm, emotional, sometimes sparring. ... Lee’s passionate heckler’s breed of New York-ness may be the best suited to this subject. He is loving and critical, impulses that New Yorkers know as synonyms. And his focus on diversity and race helps him find less-heard voices in a much-told story.

There’s a lot to like about this stylish and personal portrait of New York’s heart and vigor. ... There’s as much of Lee as there is of his subjects in “NYC Epicenters,” but the authorial presence adds to the miniseries’ intimacy and sense of transparency.

Comprehensive and illuminating. ... Through it all, Spike Lee’s lifelong love affair with New York City and its people is fierce and unwavering.
