Crooklyn is a 1994 American coming-of-age drama directed by Spike Lee. Set in a Brooklyn neighborhood in 1973, the film follows Troy Carmichael, a sharp, curious girl, as her large, loving, streetwise family navigates school, friendships, summer heat, and everyday chaos. Laced with nostalgia, humor, and soundtrack-rich moments, it portraits resilience, family bonds, and the tender, imperfect beauty of childhood in a tight-knit community.
