If you loved Little Odessa, try Armageddon Time
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by James Gray, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Little Odessa, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Armageddon Time is
A Trump-era childhood in Queens where a pampered boy’s friendship with a poor Black kid triggers a crash course in class and race. A coming-of-age guided by lived inequity rather than moral lectures. The kid who carries it feels like a cousin to Holden Caulfield.
