Rating: 3/4 --
An unusual but engaging mix of the overwrought and the understated, a picture that, at two hours plus, keeps threatening to overstay its welcome and yet always pulls us back into its conversational orbit.

Globe and Mail
I was nervous to rewatch Love & Basketball as an adult but thankfully, it's as smart, funny, and beautifully shot as I remembered it from my early adolescence.

Woman in Revolt
...Charming....This is an extremely well-acted movie. Lathan in particular is a marvel...
Los Angeles Times
Stylishly shot and bursting with visual and sexual energy, this is confident black women's film-making and an eloquent tribute to the girl with the permanently grazed knees -- and about time too.
