A coming-of-age drama about a Jewish-American boy struggling to fit in at school and among his immigrant family who want a better life for him. Based on writer/director James Gray's experiences growing up in NYC, it deals with issues of inequality and prejudice as viewed through the eyes of the innocent.
What a bummer when a period film set in the 1980s feels like ancient history.
