Ezra

"Ezra is a story that doesn't really aim to innovate: it primarily focuses on the relationship between Max (Bobby Cannavale) and his son, little Ezra (William A. Fitzgerald). The big issue is that the boy is on the autism spectrum, and this, in some way, makes Max see this relationship—and the world as a whole—in a very different light. Delicately directed by Tony Goldwyn, the film explores the complexity of this relationship, the challenges they face in the outside world, and even how the dynamics among their own family members are affected, such as Ezra's mother (Rose Byrne) and Max's father (Robert De Niro), the best character in the film. It's not an extraordinary film, following in the footsteps of works like Rain Man and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, but it knows how to evoke emotion in just the right measure."
