(1994) “Semi-comic look at middle-class family life in Brooklyn, New York, in the mid-'70s written by Spike Lee and his siblings Joie and Cinqué. As well as hanging out on the stoop and battling with four idle brothers, ten-year-old Troy (Zelda Harris) - from whose point of view the story is told - witnesses the tensions between her mother (Alfre Woodard) and father (Delroy Lindo). Lee's customary visual style and sense of street vitality are much in evidence in this fond, semi-autobiographical evocation of a largely vanished lifestyle.” – Time Out. DCP. Approx. 115 min. MPAA rated PG-13.
