Super Fly Ratings & Reviews
- rahssan4411 de julio de 2025The first movie directed by Gordon Parks, Jr. The life of a cocaine dealer in early 1970s New York City who wants to escape the street life. Ron O'Neal plays the role perfectly in his big screen debut. The soundtrack by Curtis Mayfield made the movie a classic, probably one of the best soundtracks of the 1970s besides Isaac Hayes Shaft soundtrack.
- Empowerment24 de octubre de 2025A TIMELESS CLASSIC whose legendary influence on Hip Hop & American Culture is proof "SUPERFLY" is as relevant today as ever RON O'NEAL is perfectly cast as a street-smart entrepreneur "Trying to get over" on a racist corrupt system CURTIS MAYFIELD'S musical score should have won an Oscar & Director GORDON PARKS JR captures the world of a "Player" that's never been equaled
- grantss11 de octubre de 2025Surprisingly mediocre. 5/10 A film whose fame precedes it, largely thanks to Curtis Mayfield’s soundtrack but also due to being one of the movies that put African-American cinema on the map. So it was with great expectations that I watched this…and then was sorely disappointed. The plot is quite basic, contains many inconsistencies and holes and seems more about style than substance. Performances are quite amateurish – there’s a reason you’ve never heard of any of the actors! The Curtis Mayfield soundtrack should be a highlight and it is but even here there’s a sour note: ‘Pusherman’ gets played to death! The wardrobe department is in top form though. Overall, there’s more negatives than positives and the accolades seem misgiven. This said it was probably more impactful at the time rather than now, over fifty years later.
