Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
CROOKLYN
Synopsis
The day-to-day joys and frustrations of Troy, a young girl living in 1970s Brooklyn with her four older brothers and her loving but complicated parents. Spike Lee’s semi-autobiographical tale recalls a season of jump rope games, Knicks super-fandom and the burgeoning influence of Soul Train.

Our take
Spike Lee returns to the old Brooklyn stomping grounds of his adolescence with this dazzling film co-written with his two siblings. Realized with a magic vibrancy that only the Lee family can conjure, Crooklyn is one of the wisest and most sincere films on the eternal subject of childhood.
