Watch Red Hook Summer Movie Online No Survey Red Hook Summer tells the story of Flik Royale (Jules Brown), a sullen young boy from middle-class Atlanta who has come to spend the summer with his deeply religious grandfather, Bishop Enoch Rouse (Clarke Peters), in the housing projects of Red Hook. Having never met before, things quickly get off on the wrong foot as Bishop Enoch relentlessly attempts to convert Flik into a follower of Jesus Christ. Between his grandfather's constant preaching and the culture shock of inner-city life, Flik's summer appears to be a total disaster - until he meets Chazz Morningstar (Toni Lysaith), a pretty girl his age, who shows Flik the brighter side of Brooklyn. Through her love and the love of his grandfather, Flik begins to realize that the world is a lot bigger, and perhaps a lot better, than he'd ever imagined. -- (C) Variance Release Date Red Hook Summer Aug 10, 2012 Limited

Review For Red Hook Summer
For the most part it's all rather pleasant, if somewhat aimless. Bill Goodykoontz-Arizona Republic Lee's typically paradoxical statements on race and religion muddle the narrative, and his old stylistic tricks -- saturated color schemes, characters addressing the camera -- aren't exactly inspired. Drew Hunt-Chicago Reader The story is static for about 90 minutes, then rises to action, but in a way that seems impromptu, either made up on the spot or ill-considered. Mick LaSalle-San Francisco Chronicle When Spike Lee fails he fails big, and he goes down in flames with "Red Hook Summer." Adam Graham-Detroit News Lee's latest film feels like several intriguing ideas in search of an over-arching story. Claudia Puig-USA Today This coming-of-age portrait provides one more instance of Lee as one of this country's finest cinematic regionalists. Ann Hornaday-Washington Post "Red Hook Summer" has so much life, so much verve. Spike Lee always makes movies you want to wrestle with, even if the rewards this time around aren't as worthwhile. Tim Grierson-Deadspin Image Entertainment packages their Blu-ray release of Spike Lee's astonishing latest with an A/V transfer and director's commentary worthy of sincere, ecstatic praise. Chris Cabin-Slant Magazine Spike Lee's Red Hook Summer is the director embracing the change of filmmaking while still being able to capture personal, yet completely relevant stories unlike anyone working in the field today. Jeremy Lebens-We Got This Covered Lee uses the blank slate to flex his muscles as a storyteller, resulting ina gritty and charming drama that reflects his earlier work. Phil Villarreal-OK! Magazine ... shimmers with unfocused energy. Jim Lane-Sacramento News & Review Unpolished performances are forgivable in they've got a great story to support them. Unfortunately, this is not a great story. Mike Scott-Times-Picayune It's close to bottom-of-the-barrel Lee. Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)-St. Paul Pioneer Press There's little drama or sense of progression in the movie until the bombshell hits, and then it just whimpers along for another half-hour until the end. Marjorie Baumgarten-Austin Chronicle Lee is, as ever, a gifted image-maker, but his storytelling has gotten so lax over time as to barely register. Shawn Levy-Oregonian Spike Lee in coasting gear. Kelly Vance-East Bay Express Spike Lee's least crabby vignette in a decade Fernando F. Croce-CinePassion Seems to be little but demands much more. Matthew Sorrento-Film Threat When Lee preaches in Red Hook Summer, the movie bumps along, though it's reasonably entertaining. But when he decides to teach us about the human heart, it becomes a potent experience. Lawrence Toppman-Charlotte Observer Clarke Peters is an impressive force, but the story gets away from Spike Lee on this one. Clint O'Connor-Cleveland Plain Dealer Features Lee playing with fascinating concepts and working well with setting even if the final result isn't quite the sum of its parts.
