Rating: 3/5 --
Cole Hauser is chillingly effective as the white supremacist skinhead who reveals Rapaport's potential for violence, while Jennifer Connelly gives the most adult performance as a worldly-wise lesbian.

Higher Learning sells its soul (and its brain) for overwrought melodrama.

Newsweek
The film lapses into polarized melodrama but it's a handsome piece, displaying a fair understanding of our desperate need to belong.

What is high...what is learning...yes it's a pretty decent cast, but it's all over the place, and I really wanted it to end.

Higher Learning is often clichéd, unfocused and didactic. But Singleton has a goal most of his contemporaries have given up on: He wants to make a movie that makes a difference.

I felt like it was lengthy, and they could have chopped down some of this stuff while trying to appeal to everyone...Malik and Remy could have been the movie right there.

Everyone here, from beer-swilling white fraternity boys to rap-loving black students harassed by the campus police, can be judged at face value. Everyone is exactly what he or she seems.
