All the elements of an interesting yarn are implicit here -- save one: a compelling central figure
This delightful low-budget comedy, with its all black cast and black humour, is 100 per cent Lee.
The film probes important and intriguing questions, even if the characters are not explored as thoroughly as they might have been.
Made for less than $30,000, Lee's first feature posed him as a mid-80s rival to Woody Allen, nearly equaling him in the psychological authenticity of his characters and perhaps bettering him in grace and virtuosity and sheer creative glee.
Nola is an unapologetic, sexually independent character who refuses to commit to a single man and resists the efforts of the men in her life to change who she is to please them.
Spike Lee's breakout comedy has lots of nudity and sex.
Audience Reviews for She's Gotta Have It
Spike Lee's debut feature is a racially orientated sex comedy examining attitudes within a love triangle of black suburbanites. Some witty lines but it's a little affected and self-absorbed, and it often feels like an african-american rip off of a Woody Allen film. Not bad though.
