Crooklyn

Drama. Comedy From Spike Lee comes this vibrant semi-autobiographical portrait of a school-teacher, her stubborn jazz-musician husband and their five kids living in '70s Brooklyn.
Media Author Review
United States
Chicago Tribune
"'Crooklyn' has a quality not as obvious in any Lee film since 'Do the Right Thing': the sense of a whole world opening, rich and real, before your eyes
United States
Rolling Stone
"This remarkable movie will haunt you for a good long time"
United States
Austin Chronicle
"'Crooklyn' is a winning work whose charms far outweigh any pitfalls." 
United States
SFGATE
"'Crooklyn' is loud and raucous and occasionally cruel. The actors shout their dialogue, the kids trade insults and the movie has the strained, desperate-for-fun anxiety of a TV sitcom"
United States
ReelViews
"'Crooklyn' comes to the screen with an upbeat tone and a lot of heart. Beneath the surface of this deceptively simple motion picture lurks a keen insight"
United States
The New York Times
"It succeeds in becoming a touching and generous family portrait, a film that exposes welcome new aspects of this director's talent."
United States
The Washington Post
"Modulating from heavy to light, from angry to lyrical, and so on, the movie's an enjoyable, emotional symphony."
