Critic Reviews of "Crooklyn"
TIME MagazineSeptember 23, 2008Lee is a great self-promoter. After all his press releases and all his interviews, we are given films that are sketchy, unfelt and distancing -- incidents in Lee's career, the only drama that really interests him.
Time OutJune 24, 2006The key problem is that the film is simply a ragged series of anecdotal sketches.
New York TimesMay 20, 2003It's the first Spike Lee film with the potential to be turned into a television show. More important, it's the first one to display real warmth of heart.
Rolling StoneMay 12, 2001This remarkable movie will haunt you for a good long time.
ReelViewsJanuary 01, 2000Lee is as talented as any director is capturing an era, and some of the early scenes perfectly recall the mood of the time. The pop soundtrack may be a little too obvious, but it gets the job done.
Chicago Sun-TimesJanuary 01, 2000Crooklyn is not in any way an angry film. But thinking about the difference between its world and ours can make you angry, and I think that was one of Lee's purposes here.
TV GuideSeptember 23, 2008While Lee fails to impose sufficient structure on his material, expertly drawn performances help vividly to evoke the family and street life of an era untroubled by crack or drive-by shootings.
Film4September 23, 2008It's not Lee's most challenging work, but it's certainly amongst his most charming.
Cinema CrazedNovember 29, 2007A sub-par vision of Brooklyn with some bright spots
Nolan's Pop Culture ReviewDecember 14, 2006An affectionate look at youthful adventures.
EmanuelLevy.ComJune 06, 2006Loosely based on Spike Lee's growing up in Brooklyn in the 1970s, the casual, warm, apolitical (for Lee) script took a life of its own during the development process.
Lawrence Journal-WorldFebruary 24, 2004One of Lee's more modest but admirable pieces.
