She's gotta have it / Metro Goldwyn Mayer ; Island Pictures ; Forty Acres and a Mule Filmworks presents a Spike Lee joint ; producer, Shelton J. Lee ; written, edited and directed by Spike Lee.
A statuesque and charismatic woman is trying to figure out what she wants in life. She has a good job as a commercial artist and designer, a spacious Brooklyn apartment, and three boyfriends. Each of them is far from her ideal man, but each fulfills a different need for her. Between her juggling act--accompanied by total honesty about who she is and what she's doing--and the childish squabbling of the three men, she makes some rather nebulous points about gender relations and the double standard.
