Review: A poignant tale of everyday drama in ‘Little Men’
When a generous patriarch dies, the lives of two families are altered in Ira Sachs’ beautifully poignant slice of life drama “Little Men .”
In the film, Brian Jardine (Greg Kinnear), a struggling actor, his wife, Kathy (Jennifer Ehle), a psychotherapist and the breadwinner of the family, and their 13-year-old son Jake (Theo Taplitz) uproot their Manhattan lives and move into Brian’s late father’s home in Brooklyn.
