- Critics' reviews
-
-
"'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
-
"This remarkable movie will haunt you for a good long time"
-
"'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"
-
"'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"
-
"It succeeds in becoming a touching and generous family portrait, a film that exposes welcome new aspects of this director's talent."
