Critic Reviews

A case of means exceeded by ambition.Full Review

Scott Foundas
Variety

Only Sol and Sara even approach being real characters; the supporting players, Black and Jewish alike, are shrill stereotypes.Full Review

Maitland McDonagh
TV Guide

The acting is, at best, serviceable; the sound track is too often unintelligible; the direction is often over the top; and the script relies heavily on stereotypes.Full Review

Lou Lumenick
New York Post

The film dissolves into a series of diminishing anticlimaxes, ending on a note of portentous ambiguity. To the last, Mr. Levin maintains his uneasy balance of reportage and melodrama.Full Review

Dave Kehr
The New York Times

Levin's Brooklyn Babylon, set during a hot summer in Crown Heights, is an ethnic-strife tract as thuddingly didactic as his previous "Whiteboys."Full Review
