Jennifer Ehle, Greg Kinnear, Paulina García, Theo Taplitz, and Michael Barbieri in Little Men (2016)

When 13-year-old Jake's grandfather dies, his family moves from Manhattan back into his father's old Brooklyn home. There, Jake befriends the charismatic Tony, whose single mother Leonor, a dressmaker from Chile, runs the shop downstairs. Soon, Jake's parents Brian and Kathy -- one, a struggling actor, the other, a psychotherapist -- ask Leonor to sign a new, steeper lease on her store. For Leonor, the proposed new rent is untenable, and a feud ignites between the adults.

At first, Jake and Tony don't seem to notice; the two boys, so different on the surface, begin to develop a formative kinship as they discover the pleasures of being young in Brooklyn. Jake aspires to be an artist, while Tony wants to be an actor, and they have dreams of going to the same prestigious arts high school together. But the children can't avoid the problems of their parents forever, and soon enough, the adult conflict intrudes upon the borders of their friendship.

Citazioni
Tony Calvelli: [describing his father's infrequent returns home] We seem like a normal family, and then - boom - they start fighting about something stupid, like always, and... I realize it's better when he's not around.

Understanding harsh reality

Trying to find balance between family and legal though well intended can be a useless fight. Both are strong, even friendship as seen in this movie but when legal system enters the picture it actions a full stop which can be painful.

Despite this, with strong families their is endurance which I think Jake in this movie achieved.

It was interesting to see this in movie format. Acting was well done.

Difficult at times to watch life, friendships change but no less true. Thankfully the movie isn't long otherwise it would be too laborous for viewers.

In conclusion a movie I think to watch when in a mood for charisma & temporary sadness.
