Super Fly Ratings & Reviews
Call and Post (Cleveland)
Jimi Lawrence
[Superfly] deals with a segment of life as it really exists, despite the wishes of many who would rather suppress or overlook it.
New Pittsburgh Courier
Larry G. Coleman
There is fine acting throughout the film. Ron O'Neal's performance is superior.
Baltimore Afro-American
Samuel A. Hay
Ron O'Neal Is supported by a good but uneven cast. There is a great deal of overacting. Acting on film requires a subtlety that, give experience, these new faces will soon master. But Parks' first effort is almost actor-proof and is well worth a trip.
Cinapse
Ed Travis
Among the early and most sacred films in the Blacksploitation cannon, 1972's Super Fly is a towering pillar in many circles.
Alternate Ending
Tim Brayton
It has a subdued psychological acuity that goes far beyond the grubby baseline of the normal exploitation film.
Common Sense Media
Brian Costello
Classic '70s drama with drugs, violence, cursing.
LarsenOnFilm
Josh Larsen
...about the dead-end despair of ghetto life, where the false independence of a criminal enterprise is really just another form of enslavement.
New York Times
Roger Greenspun
A very good movie.
Filmcritic.com
Christopher Null
Drug dealer, big score, wants to get out of the biz. Yawn.
Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
John Beifuss
O'Neal functioned as a suave but deadly post-Poitier antihero for an increasingly militant urban audience...
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Curtis Mayfield's sizzling score may be the most enduringly superfly aspect of this blaxploitation classic.
Countingdown.com
Larry Carroll
Classic blaxlpoitation film is still one of the best to come out of the genre. O'Neal gives a fine (but always funky) performance in one of the last movies before the genre ate itself and became self-parody. Terrific soudtrack.

Ted Prigge
This is a quintessential blaxploitation film. And it's fun as hell to watch.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
Gordon Parks Jr. was one of the greatest casualties of the collapse of blaxploitation cinema, a director with a distinctive, tightly packed visual style nd a remarkably bitter vision for this supposedly escapist genre.
