Jeremy Strong and Anne Hathaway play the director’s parents in this beautiful and damning coming-of-age tale
, his mournful family drama set in 1980 Queens. While the setting and the story this time are almost directly autobiographical, what makes the picture feel so confessional and exposed aren’t its narrative details but its structure and style. Gray has built into the form of the film a quiet exploration of generational failure and has zero interest in letting himself off the hook even now.
Gray’s portrait of his family is damning but human. We see their racism, their classism, their self-absorption, but these people are not grotesques. Even Irving, whose abusive outbursts Gray films with the nausea-inducing suspense of a horror movie, is allowed moments of tenderness and insight. Strong portrays this driven man with a nervous, watchful energy, which not only means that we can never tell what he will do next but also that his moments of self-reflection stand out.
