Incredibly underrated
I just watched this last night for the first time and absolutely loved it, I really feel that this has been unfairly forgotten probably due to being overshadowed by Do the Right Thing. No doubt the latter film is great and definitely has a much broader scope which would understandably make it appeal to a wider audience, but She's Gotta Have It is a masterpiece as well and is probably one of the most stunning feature debuts by a known director ever made, very comparable to Scorsese's I Call First aka Who's That Knocking on My Door. I wish Criterion would give this a good, proper DVD release w/ the director's cut as the current MGM dvd has no special features whatsoever, it definitely deserves the treatment from the company who also did Do the Right Thing so proud.
