Growing up in a Jewish family isn’t easy, but at least it’s fun (sometimes).

This is the story of a three-generation family who migrated from Europe to Queens in the 80s to escape the Holocaust. The protagonist is an eccentric, tomboyish and very cute red curly-haired son who is always in trouble. His family is not easy – but what Jewish family is?  The sixth-grade boy is mostly at home with his grandfather, none other than Anthony Hopkins. For this film they’ve found the perfect casting team: Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain and Jeremy Strong – yes, that’s Kendall Roy from Succession, and he looks hilarious as an eighties Jewish dad! If for no other reason, we recommend the film for that alone.
