- The packaging of the DVD really sucks
The folks at Milestone seriously need to rethink their packaging designs. Killer of Sheep is an excellent film, it's just unfortunate that it didn't get the DVD treatment that it deserves. The discs are stuffed in a wafer thin piece of cardboard. Are economics that big of an issue that Milestone can't afford to put the DVD's in a real case. The extras are a little on the weak side, too. It's nice to have My Brother's Wedding as a bonus but, I would like to know a little more about Killer of Sheep. The Criterion Collection needs to get a hold of this one, hopefully it's not to late.

- Killer of Sheep is Profound -- Seemingly Unintentionally
I am so pleased that Charles Burnett's "Killer of Sheep" has been finally released after years of challenges. I was fortunate to see the film many years ago as part of an underground circuit at Tuskegee Institute. I found the style and material contained in the film to be compelling and my first experience with a media which accurately portrays a particular aspect of African American culture. When Spike Lee's "She's Gotta Gave It" was released years later, it was regarded as the first of its kind and revolutionary with respect to African American film making; however, "Killer of Sheep" was not only a predecessor, I am confident that Spike Lee was heavily influenced and inspired by the work of Charles Burnett. "Killer of Sheep" is a MUST SEE!!!

- Timecapsule Contents
Seemingly unearthed from a timecapsule, this film resembles a Richard Wright novel as interpretted by Harmony Korine. The terms "landmark" and "masterpiece" are a bit beyond this film's scope, yet it's documentary-style cinematography and subtle performances are undeniably powerful. (7/10)

- Amazing film!
I recently got this movie and its an amazing film. Its everything that the summary says and more. It captures life as it really is and not the hollywood junk that I'm used to. The beauty of it really touched me (as cliche as that may sound) and now I'm on to my sixth time that I'm watching it. I highly recommend this film to add to your collection or if you just want to watch a great movie.
