(2022) Family Life on View at the New York Film Festival. : ThyBlackMan.com
The bio-ish narrative mirrors writer/director James Gray’s (The Yards) childhood. The intimacy of this immigrant family feels real and personal—like you’re sitting at their kitchen table as they discuss the Holocaust, a good education’s value, the American Dream and how to blend into the mainstream. That specific but often universal depiction of family life and Strong’s solid emotional performance are the film’s strengths.
