4 Little Girls brilliantly captures a moment in American history and tells an achingly painful story of injustice and family loss. Read full review
The film's approach is highly instructive, deeply moving, and geared to deploring the racism that breeds violence rather than reactivating old hatreds. Read full review
This subject demands consummate screen treatment and now has absolutely gotten it from director/producer Spike Lee. [10 Jul 1997, Pg.02.D] Read full review
Director Spike Lee has made some of the most hard-edged and unsettling American films on racism and its effects. Yet none has been as moving as this. [24 Oct 1997, Pg.F2] Read full review
There is mostly sadness and regret at the surface in 4 Little Girls, but there is anger in the depths, as there should be. Read full review
Lee takes a conventional, talking-heads-and-archival-clips approach to the material, but rewardingly establishes an intimate connection with his subjects by devoting considerable time to the personalities and families of the four victims. Read full review
An important act of historical preservation, a focused and effective film that brings back a dark, important moment in history with startling clarity. Read full review
Surprisingly, given Lee's penchant for experimentation, there's nothing remotely innovative about this sober, often intensely moving exploration of a community's lingering grief and outrage -- just the usual talking heads, stock footage, montages of stills, and such. Read full review
The film is artfully made, its occasional excesses of style moderated by the plain force of the content and the passion of the testimony. Read full review
Mr. Lee, whose lean, straightforward documentary style loses none of his usual clarity and fire (the film has been exceptionally well shot by Ellen Kuras), summons a powerful sense of Birmingham's past and a galvanizing sense of how this bombing would change its future. Read full review
