Introducing Endless Mode: A New Games & Anime Site from Paste
Director Ira Sachs follows up 2014’s heartbreaking Love Is Strange with Little Men, the story of two tweens whose friendship gets fractured because of a conflict between their parents. When Jake (Theo Taplitz) move into his deceased grandfather’s place in Brooklyn with his folks (Greg Kinnear and Jennifer Ehle), he becomes fast pals with Tony (Michael Barbieri, fantastic in a breakout role), a gregarious wannabe actor whose mother (Paulina García) runs a dress shop downstairs. But the kids are forced to reckon with the adults’ animosity when Jake’s family tries to raise the rent on the store.
