A successful and married black man contemplates having an affair with a white girl from work. He's quite rightly worried that the racial difference would make an already taboo relationship even worse.

Jungle Fever Ratings & Reviews
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Steve Murray
The movie slights this personal tale in favor of broad political statements. But Mr. Lee is such a dazzling filmmaker, the weaker links don't matter.
Southern Voice (Atlanta)
Terry Francis
Lee's film has moments that are near incendiary in their anger, and it's the rare American film that can honestly be said to make audiences think, and re-think.
El Nuevo Herald (Miami)
Rene Jordan
An excessive film, but cinematographically exciting. [Full review in Spanish]
Slant Magazine
Odie Henderson
The ingrained self-hatred of its characters reflect outward toward those who remind them of themselves.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
However diffuse the movie's agenda, it is never less than thoroughly involving.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
Strong and powerful, Jungle Fever dares us to be disinterested, dares us to turn away.
Seattle Times
John Hartl
It's all too much for Lee to handle. Jungle Fever is overlong, yet he hasn't found the screen time to give each of these people his or her reasons, and even the Snipes and Sciorra characters slip away from him.
Orlando Sentinel
Jay Boyar
It certainly is something to see.
Chicago Tribune
Gene Siskel
Isn't it refreshing to talk about a thoughtful movie in a summer full of fluff?
Chicago Tribune
Dave Kehr
Jungle Fever may be a failure, but it is the kind of failure that engenders hope: It finds Lee refining the skills he already possesses and striking out in encouraging new directions.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
Snipes, it's clear, is a major actor.
Variety
Variety Staff
Lee tackles the subject of interracial romance from the unavoidable vantage point that, while things today are more open, they are also considerably more volatile and complex.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
There are so many voices you may think you're swimming through a maelstrom, but thanks to Lee it's all superbly orchestrated.
Newsweek
David Ansen
Lee is in fine form.
New York Times
Vincent Canby
Lee is so adept that he is able to transcend the symmetry that the narrative more or less imposes on him.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Jungle Fever is not to be underestimated or ignored.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Brilliant when it examines the people who surround his feverish couple, but uncertain when it comes to the lovers themselves.
Austin Chronicle
Kathleen Maher
Lee is never content to show one side of the picture and he attempts to address issues that he's not even convinced he's on the wrong side of.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
The result, for the most part, is a provocative, quintessentially Spike symphony.
