Critic Reviews

Staff (Not Credited)

What makes the film is essentially the character of Coffy as played by Pam Grier with increasing alienation: a nurse out to get the men who are responsible for her little sister's addiction, she makes a conscious decision to manipulate the sexual situations which the men around her force her to engage in. It is a performance that defies and subverts the genre. Read full review

Coffy is undeniably entertaining and perhaps one of the best films of its kind. [26 Dec 2001]

TV Guide Magazine Staff (Not Credited)

If you're looking for nonstop, no-holds-barred exploitation, look no further. Pam Grier's first solo starring role is an enormously entertaining black action classic. Read full review

Noel Murray

A sobering story kept at street level. Read full review

Staff (Not Credited)

Jack Hill, who wrote and directs with an action-atuned hand, inserts plenty of realism in footage in which Pam Grier in title role ably acquits herself. Read full review

Adam Lowes

Like many of the films from that era, Coffy hasn’t aged particularly well, but it’s still an entertaining snapshot of the shifting sociological changes of that time wrapped up in crowd- pleasing B-movie. Read full review

A.H. Weiler

Leaves a viewer with the happy thought that she now can get back to nursing and away from films like Coffy. Read full review

Matthew Alexander "Matt" Sinegar [SIN-NA-GAR] (An EXTREMELY Mature & EXTREMELY Heterosexual (Straight) African-American/Black Man):
Coffy (1973) Is LITERALLY Always One Of My All-Time Favorite Blaxploitation Flicks.
