Full Plot Details

Co-written with siblings Joie and Cinqué Lee, Spike Lee's CROOKLYN is a semi-autobiographical portrait illuminating the life of the lively Carmichael family and their vibrant Bedford-Stuyvesant community. Schoolteacher and loving Carmichael matriarch Carolyn (Alfre Woodard) runs a no-nonsense household, working hard to keep the lights on and raise her nine-year-old daughter Troy (Zelda Harris) alongside her 4 rowdy brothers with little help from her sensitive, struggling jazz-musician husband Woody (Delroy Lindo). Troy proves adept at holding her own while navigating adolescence amid the fertile chaos of one dynamic Brooklyn summer in 1973. Joie Lee conceived the high-spirited CROOKLYN screenplay as a lyrical celebration of her Brooklyn childhood and, together with her brothers, helped develop her story in honor of their mother who died when Joie was 14 years old. Featuring one of the best soundtracks of the 90s, co-starring music from the Stylistics, Sly and the Family Stone, the Staple Singers, Johnny Nash, Curtis Mayfield, Cymande, the Chambers Brothers, the J.B.'s, The Delfonics, the Jimi Hendrix Experience and so much more.

Movie Reviews

Chicago Tribune - 10/10 by Michael WilmingtonCrooklyn 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.
Chicago Sun-Times - 9/10 by Roger EbertCrooklyn 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.
Washington Post - 9/10 by Desson ThomsonModulating from heavy to light, from angry to lyrical, and so on, the movie's an enjoyable, emotional symphony.
Rolling Stone - 9/10 by Peter TraversThis remarkable movie will haunt you for a good long time.
LarsenOnFilm - 9/10 by Josh Larsen...a relaxed portrayal of African-American domesticity, anchored by strong performances.
ReelViews - 8/10 by James BerardinelliCrooklyn 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.
Nolan's Pop Culture Review - 8/10 by Michael A. SmithAn affectionate look at youthful adventures.
Hartford Courant - 8/10 by Malcolm JohnsonCrooklyn, a gentle and touching tale of growing up in a melting-pot neighborhood of Brooklyn in the Partridge Family era, shows a different, more sentimental side of that cinematic firebrand, Spike Lee.
Newsweek - 8/10 by David AnsenLee seems to confuse noise with drama: the bickering Carmichaels create quite a racket, but we're seldom moved by their plight. In his most desperate moment, Lee shoots a long sequence through a distorted lens.
Austin Chronicle - 8/10 by Marjorie BaumgartenCrooklyn is a winning work whose charms far outweigh any pitfalls.
