Sorry, we can't find any suggestions at the moment.
In Brooklyn's Crown Heights, where West Indian Rastafarians and other Blacks live next door to the Jewish Lubavitch community, ethnic tensions are high. After a minor car crash, the headstrong Judah and other Jewish youths who patrol as vigilantes confront Scratch, a mouthy African-American hustler. Passengers in the cars make eye contact: Sol, a hip-hop musician, songwriter, and artist (Scratch's friend), and Sara, who is betrothed to Judah but wants to go to college and be on her own. Over the next few days, while Scratch and Judah's conflict escalates in violence, Sara and Sol connect in ways that echo Sheba and Solomon. The friendship puts them in danger.

| Filmcritic.comChristopher NullWill the lovers overcome adversity and society's damning gaze? Ah, who cares? |
| TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghOnly Sol and Sara even approach being real characters; the supporting players, Black and Jewish alike, are shrill stereotypes. |
| New York PostLou LumenickThe film dissolves into a series of diminishing anticlimaxes, ending on a note of portentous ambiguity. To the last, Mr. Levin maintains his uneasy balance of reportage and melodrama. |
| Village VoiceJessica WinterLevin's Brooklyn Babylon, set during a hot summer in Crown Heights, is an ethnic-strife tract as thuddingly didactic as his previous "Whiteboys." |
| User ReviewTracy BThe Best movie of Love, Trials & Tribulations & Racial Motivations growing up in Brooklyn... |
| User ReviewHeidi HI couldn't say enough about how much I love this movie. It proves that love transcends everything including culture, heritage, color, sometimes even "religion". |
| User Reviewtimothy rA movie with deep spiritual meanings. Brooklyn Babylon's plot transcends race, color and religious background. The story itself mirrors the ancient legends of King David and Makeda the Queen of Sheba and also Shakesperean elements of Romeo and Juliet. Deep in conflict and retirbution, this movie is a deep-thinker must-see. |
| User ReviewAlex AA classic of drama, here is one of my favorite movies |
| User ReviewDaryl DNot Bad...gotta love interracial relationships.. ;) |
| User ReviewJoshua CUnique movie that more people need to take a look at. Gives some great commentary about Crown Heights and society's influence on interracial, inter cultural, & inter-religious relationships. Beautiful usage of the Song of Solomon. If you don't like urban issues, hip-hop, or are interested in cultural tensions, this movie may not be for you, but if you do give it a look. |
