Oscar-nominated filmmaker Spike Lee turns his camera toward the stage for this filmed performance of the acclaimed Broadway musical by singer/songwriter Stew and his creative partner Heidi Rodewald. Developed at the Sundance Theater Lab, the story follows a young black man from Los Angeles as he attempts to make sense of the conflicted cultural signals constantly bombarding him from all sides. Raised in a religious household somewhere south of Interstate 10, the frustrated adolescent feels suffocated by his mother's fixation on family ties, her unwavering devotion to the church, and her unapologetically bourgeois aspirations in life. He longs to experience something "real" in life, ultimately making the decision to follow in the footsteps of James Baldwin and Josephine Baker by traveling to Europe and exploring the world. From outrageous Amsterdam to ultra-militant Berlin, the impressionable wanderer experiences misadventures with sex, drugs, politics, and art as his eyes are opened ever wider to the world around him. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Some New Trailer For Passing Strange
New Review For Movie Passing Strange
You'll probably have to resist the urge to stand up and cheer with the onscreen audience during the emotional curtain call.Elizabeth Weitzman-New York Daily News
Spike Lee's Passing Strange: The Movie is basically canned musical theater, but this is one Tony-winning Broadway show that's well worth preserving and seeing.
Lou Lumenick-New York Post
The invigorating result, zestily edited by Lee's own inside iron man, Barry Brown, is in every way a knockout.
Peter Travers-Rolling Stone
Moving, thrilling and new.
A.O. Scott-New York Times
I can't single out a performance. This is a superb ensemble, conveying that joy actors feel when hey know they're good in good material.
Roger Ebert-Chicago Sun-Times
Like Lee, the artist formerly known as Mark Stewart possesses a powerful and singular voice, one he uses to express vividly his own unique experience of growing up as a black man in America.
Christy Lemire-Associated Press
It's a joyous production; the music is alive and dynamic, the skits are clever and funny and self-effacing and the show crackles with energy...
Sean Axmaker-Seanax.com
Interesting that one of the best movies of the year is a filming of a play. That's a sad commentary on Hollywood but sufficient reason to see this uplifting and very witty movie.
Louis Proyect-rec.arts.movies.reviews
Lee doesn't reinvent the wheel when it comes to filming live theater, but he moves the camera artfully and edits with an energy that matches the music. And he makes good use of close-ups, capturing the sweaty faces of a troupe of remarkable performers.
Noel Murray-AV Club
Although more of a stage play than a film this performance has great acting and great music combined with a heart felt message.
Ron Wilkinson-Monsters and Critics
A rousing, emotional roller coaster that's a must see not just for fans of rock musicals but those with an eye (and an ear) for something unusual - compellingly so.
Richard Knight-Windy City Times
If you passed up the opportunity to catch this Tony-award winning rock musical during its Broadway run, don't make the same mistake with Spike Lee's vibrant film adaptation.
Ethan Alter-Giant Magazine
Passing Strange adds to Spike Lee's visionary resume and his eye for fresh talent.
Clay Cane-BET.com
Tender, sexy , funny, moving and profound, Passing Strange bears comparison not just to the great works of the American musical theatre but to literary landmarks like James Baldwin's Another Country and (especially) Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man.
Ray Greene-Boxoffice Magazine
There's much to admire, like the energy and Swiss-watch timing of the players, though this remains a photographed play and not a movie.
Harvey S. Karten-Compuserve
Film version of a fresh and spunky Broadway musical about a young black man's quest for self-understanding and creative expression.
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat-Spirituality and Practice
a cross between a PBS-style special and a concert movie.
Jesse Hassenger-Filmcritic.com
A worthy public record of a show most people nationwide didn't get the chance to see.
Jeremiah Kipp-Slant Magazine
If you didn't have a chance to see it on stage, Spike Lee's movie really is the next best thing to being there.
