LITTLE MEN REVIEWED
“Little Men” reminds me of a modern take on “The Fallen Idol”. The material follows two 13 year old boys, as they try to bond and start becoming adults. While death and financial struggle pervades through their lives, they find strength in each other. Yet, they also want to understand the people around them. Frequently shot in a kid’s POV, we find camera work forcing the audience to identify with a younger look at a blossoming NYC.
The material is quite different than what I’ve seen from Sachs, but he’s easily one of the strongest voices working in American indie film. While the material doesn’t exactly strike me as personal favorites, I’d be amiss not to acknowledge a rising talent. If you want something to do during the Holidays, you should hunt this one down. Solid work all around.
