This film is based on the book of the same name, written by Glenn Stout and published in 2009. I, for one, am glad it was written. The movie is about a young swimmer named Trudy Ederle who had big dreams and, lucky for all women who play sports today, wouldn’t give up on them.

“Ezra” is a beautiful story, a multigenerational drama with three males realizing they have developmental disabilities. They help one another navigate their issues, as well as their own restrictive patterns. The first two are Stan (Robert De Niro) and his son Max (Bobby Cannavale). Their problems are hardly noticeable, with Max being worse than Stan. The situation is then worse for Ezra.
The film is dark and very heavy at times but well told. Definitely one to see.
This is a tough watch if you’re an Amy Winehouse fan. When you hear “Back to Black” in the film, your heart shatters.
