Not one of Lee’s best, but better than most critics claimed. Worth seeing just to catch Spike as George Jefferson.

| Original Score: C | Sep 1, 2022

Just when you thought that director Spike Lee was beginning to be predictable with his movie subject matter, he reshuffles the deck and pulls a wild card from his sleeve.

Though featuring classic Lee-missteps-a bloated third act, heavy moralizing around Black women's sexualities-the real lynchpin in Girl 6 is Randle.

About as fulfilling as phone-sex.

While it's often quite funny, Spike Lee's newest is really a surprisingly vivid dramatic study of an aspiring actress in moonlighting hell.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Sep 23, 2008

[Randle] holds the film together as best she can with her luminous presence and dignity, but can't supply the lacking subtext, past history and motivation.

Full Review | Sep 23, 2008

Lee is back to his independent roots, doesn't have an axe to grind and just enjoys playing with the camera and letting the actors, especially Randle, do the right thing.

| Sep 23, 2008

Slight and superficial, Spike Lee's look at the phone-sex industry through the life of one femme is completely from the outside.

| Original Score: C- | Sep 18, 2007

There's something refreshing about the film's reckless proximity to anarchy, the stylishly imaginative cinematography and lusciously exorbitant Prince soundtrack, even if it does ring hollow when Lee tries to get serious on us.

| Jun 24, 2006

Girl 6, the story of a girl and her stint in the phone sex biz, is a sloppy and problematic film, no diggity.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Mar 24, 2006

Just a slightly amusing timepasser.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 11, 2005

I can't fault Spike Lee on this one. This is his first film where he did not get a writing credit -- and it shows.
