Reprinted below are just a few early excerpts from those reviewers. ‘‘This is the one to see! An intelligent, perceptive, fast paced movie. Solid script, solid acting, a musical score by Curtis Mayfield that will probably get an Academy Award nomination. It’s a very important movie.’’ Kevin Sanders, ABC-TV ““A brilliantly idiomatic film. The film’s gut pleasures are real, and there are a lot of them... a very good movie.’’ Roger Greenspun, New York Times ‘‘Fine acting, a compelling story and Cutris Mayfield’s exciting music. One of the best of the new black films. ‘Super Fly’ is good entertainment. ’’ Frances Taylor, Long Island Press oé ‘Super Fly’ is brilliant. It has a solid, tense plot, eye-catching settings, sex, whirlwind pacing.’’ Barbara Goldsmith, Harpers Bazaar ““A visually exciting movie, a good adventure story.’’ Kevin M. Saviola, Women’s Wear Daily “It is beautifully acted in its central roles by that fine Broadway actor, Ron O’Neal, and Carl Lee.’’ Bernard Drew, Gannett Newspaper Syndicate 11
