Cannes Film Fest (In Competition)
Vet indie director James Gray (Ad Astra, The Yards) returns to the 1980s and the neighborhood of Queens, New York, where he grew up.
He offers a loving but unvarnished family portrait that traces the seeds from which he the artist has evolved and the lessons, especially racial and interracial, which have shaped his character and worldview.
It’s an understated drama, with lived-in performances from Anne Hathaway, Jeremy Strong, Anthony Hopkins and newcomers Banks Repeta and Jaylin Webb.
