10...a true satire, at once serious and irreverent, ridiculous and sublime.

There probably isn’t a filmmaker around whose skill set is better suited to scenes of people preaching than Lee, given his taste for direct-to-camera addresses, bold statements, and theatrical staging.

8...speak[s] about police brutality, government corruption and anger at black communities oppressing themselves with violence, without overloading his film with overt messaging.
Read full review at Empire 8...a tactless, haranguing, original piece of work, a movie-musical rant about something important.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Chi-Raq about? 
In a contemporary adaptation of Aristophanes' ancient Greek play "Lysistrata," a group of women in a Chicago Southside neighborhood band together to challenge the ongoing violence and crime in their community. Fed up with the constant shootouts, arson attacks, and gang warfare, Lysistrata leads a movement to withhold sexual favors from their partners until peace is restored. As the women unite and take a stand, they challenge traditional notions of race, sex, and violence in America and around the world. This provocative film explores themes of power, gender, and the human cost of violence, all set to an electric hip-hop soundtrack.
