- Alex Bentley @ CultureMap Dallas
- Excerpt: Lee is responsible for some truly great films over the past 30-40 years, but Highest 2 Lowest will not be joining that list. It has flashes of the director’s trademark stylish moves, but the storytelling and acting blunt any deeper meaning that Lee might have been trying to impart.
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: once King boards the NYC transit system to deliver a backpack stuffed with Swiss Francs, Lee’s movie sparks to life in a suspenseful sequence enlivened with the dual beats of chanting NY Yankees fans and a Puerto Rican street festival
- Jason Flatt @ But Why Tho?
- Nell Minow @ moviemom.com
- Excerpt: Denzel Washington and Spike Lee reunite for the first time since 2006’s “Inside Man” for an elegiac but vibrant story that is complicated and messy. Like life.
- Matt Oakes @ Silver Screen Riot
- Excerpt: ‘Highest 2 Lowest’, an Apple and A24 co-production, sees American auteur Spike Lee transplant Akira Kurosawa’s 1963 classic to modern-day NYC with bristling detail. It’s at once melodramatic and Shakespearean, satisfying the viewers high and low tastes, with a killer turn from Denzel Washington.
- [New] | Jeff Schaefer @ The Marquee Topic
- Excerpt: For Apple TV and A24, Spike Lee reunites with Denzel Washington in a contemporary and NYC set adaption of Akira Kurosawa’s High and Low.
