Plot: Spike Lee's semiautobiographical, 1994 film about the good and bad times for a Brooklyn family in the '70s has passion and nostalgic good feeling, but it is also a mess of random reflections and arbit...( read more read more... )rary storytelling. The centerpiece of the movie is a little girl (Zelda Harris) who views the ups and downs of her parents' experiences (mom and dad are played by Delroy Lindo and Alfre Woodard), and who navigates the life of her neighborhood. Lee tosses in a lot of '70s detail (watching The Partridge Family) and other diversions (Harris's journey through suburbia), but he has no master sensibility controlling the flow of it all. The film is more wearying than anything, although bright spots include Lindo's fine performance as a talented man suffering from irrelevance. --Tom Keogh

    A sweet and sentimental look at childhood in 1970's New York City.

    The 'kinder gentler' side of Spike Lee.

    A real high-point for his career and a great example of his range as a film maker.

    Its impact doesn't really compare to that of Do the Right Thing, but Crooklyn still accurately presents the layered essense of street life.

    Awesome movie by Spike Lee. Growing up it was hard to find films that actually spoke directly to me culturally and Spike Lee always managed to tap into that as an artist (i.e. direrctor)

    This movie reminds of growing up in my neighborhood in Roxbury. Everyone who grew up in an inner city can relate

    It's a Spike Lee joint... so yeah I liked it... though if Spike uses one more rolling dolly shot to emphasize the climax of a movie!!! I'll toss him through a pizzaria window...

    Spike Lee did an excellent job with this movie. He captured how things were in Brooklyn back in the days. It was nice to share this movie with my children

    This was a very heartwarming film. I absolutely LOVED the soundtrack; great selection of music from the 70's. I think Spike Lee hit it right on the spot with this film about growing up in Brooklyn. Not like I know what it's like growing up in Brooklyn but I mean he (and his brother) did a great job at writing it and I really enjoyed the feel that the movie gave off. I also liked how Troy ends up being the mother figure...just...excellent writing, I think. B+.
