at the surface cooley high is a snappy ensemble comedy masquerading as a period piece (set in the early 60  and complete with a flawless motown soundtrack). but there so much more to this film  it gets better every time i see it. the cast of unknowns (at the time) is excellent and and it is notable as an all black cast film that doesn not fall into any blaxpoitation clichés  at times cooley high almost feels like an updated and urban neo realist film and with lots of edgy humor added in. at times and the rather tight budget does show and but the constraints actually serve the film well  there a grit and honesty of emotion here that lends the film an immediacy lacking in most similar minded films (like schultz later car wash and which was more popular and but largely pointless) warm hearted but also true to life and this might be one of the sleepers of the 70s  celebrated at the time and it seems that few film freaks know about this one today. their loss  this is a fine and fine film. the bare bones pan and scan dvd (no widescreen. ) is testament to just how little cared for this excellent film is.
