Jeremy of The Daily Rotation wrote, "Director Spike Lee returns to Brooklyn for his latest micro-budget film Red Hook Summer. In it Lee weighs in on such heavy-hitter topics like politics, Wall Street, religion, race and the coming-of-age story of a young boy that’s forced to spend his summer with his preaching grandfather in New York. Lee’s steadfast direction mixed with his uncanny ability to write some of the most intriguing and real characters makes Red Hook Summer a must-see."
Jeremy of We Got This Covered wrote, "Spike Lee returns to Brooklyn for Red Hook Summer, his impartial film that focuses on religion, our economy and a handful of current hot topics that weigh down on our youth of today. Lee’s been out of the mainstream eye for a few years now, but Red Hook Summer is a strong reminder why we’ve all learned to know his name. The film is as hard-hitting and as relevant as Do the Right Thing was back when it saw release in the late 80s, only this time around Lee chooses to focus on an even smaller group of characters as he spreads his film out across one hot Brooklyn summer."
I found this is an informative and interesting post so i think so it is very useful and knowledgeable.

Last week before Christmas and only two more weeks of Blu-ray releases in 2012. This week is filled with late summer and early fall new releases including the third film starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Clint Eastwood’s baseball flick, a girly singing comedy, an unnecessary sci-fi remake, wimpy kid diary, and another frighteningly bad (yet fun) zombie crapfest. On the catalog release front things are bit slower, but if you know someone that’s a fan of karate fighting turtles, classic ghost ships, or space age teen adventures you might be able to find a last minute Christmas gift.
Everyone waits until the year is over to compile their “Best of whatever” movie lists. This has become a mundane practice. Time for a bit of a change, kids.
As more independent flicks enter the 2012 movie fray, a few marquee releases such as This Is 40 and Les Miserables arrived to be in consideration for respective film critics’ associations year-end voting deadlines. Besides those two notables, due out around Christmas time, Spike Lee’s Red Hook Summer The Weinstein Company’s Quartet, and a unique documentary titled The Imposter, all made a decent impression when compared to the 200 films reviewed/screened by yours truly up to this point.
