The most personal film yet from James Gray ( The Immigrant, Ad Astra) is also one of his greatest, an exquisitely detailed and deeply emotional etching of a time and place: Queens, 1980. Set against the backdrop of a country on the cuspof ominous sociopolitical change, Armageddon Timefollows sixth grader Paul Graff. At the same time that Paul builds a friendship with classmate Johnny, who's mercilessly targeted by their racist teacher, he finds himselfincreasingly at odds with his parents (Jeremy Strong and Anne Hathaway), for whom financial success and assimilation are key to the family's Jewish-American identity. Paul feels on firmest groundwith his kind grandfather (a marvelous Anthony Hopkins), whose life experiences have granted him a weathered compassion.
