Armageddon Time is James Gray’s personal reflection on his formative years when Ronald Regan was running for President, and how the borough of Queens was rather impactful, not just for him.
The poignant, unsentimental tale includes a convincing turn from Gray’s stand-in (Banks Repeta) as rebellious Paul Graff remanded to a Forest hills private school. Notable turns also come from Anne Hathaway as his mother Ester and Jeremy Strong as tiling plumber father. Look also for Jessica Chastain as a district judge Maryanne Trump.
