In 1940s New York, two Jewish teenage boys form a friendship despite the deep differences between their families. Their bond brings them together across family divides as they face the beliefs and expectations around them.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like thoughtful stories about friendship, family differences, and growing up; not for you if you prefer fast-paced plots or high-stakes action.
