Movie Review: Coffy (1973)

Coffy may not be great, but it is entertaining. Jack Hill really knows how to handle this material. It’s sexy, but fun, and touches upon serious themes in a way that doesn’t let the exploitation completely overshadow it.

Pam Grier is great. Of course. She’s so effortlessly cool and sexy, while also nailing the emotional beats of the film. The movie doesn’t ask her to do too much, but I have no doubt she’s a capable actress, and I quite frankly wouldn’t want to see any other actress in this role. That honestly goes for most Pam Grier movies I’ve seen.

Rating: 7/10
