"Jim Jennings' Greenpoint is a rapturous and observant portrait of Greenpoint, Brooklyn, that pays tribute to a working-class neighborhood on the verge of gentrification. It is a jazz, boogie-woogie collage of hot colors, peeling posters, graffiti art and neon signs.
"Instead of being a 'city symphony,' Greenpoint is a neighborhood jam session. In lieu of skyscrapers and Civil War monuments, we see Mom-and-Pop shops and the detritus of daily life. This film is a frank and loving portrait of a Brooklyn neighborhood."
