Question the knowledge.

African-American student Malik is on a track scholarship; academics are not his strong suit, and he goes in thinking that his athletic abilities will earn him a free ride through college. Fudge, a "professional student" who has been at Columbus for six years so far, becomes friendly with Malik and challenges his views about race and politics in America.

Roger Ebert · Chicago Sun-Times 75.00/100.00

Singleton's film is interesting for a lot of reasons, but especially because he stands outside this campus system and looks at it with a detached eye.

@ 2.00/5.00

三十年前的美国校园意识形态大乱炖，种族、女权、阶级、性别、LGBT，全程都是超雄男咋咋唬唬，Kristy和Jennifer戏份很少，那个吻都有幻想成分，后面完全跳着看的。不过我一直站性别而不是种族。

David Armstrong · San Francisco Examiner 75.00/100.00

Still, Singleton's willingness to take risks makes this a worthy, thoughtful film. Especially noteworthy: His sensitive handling of a love triangle between Kristen and her boyfriend and Kristen and another woman.
