"United States, Brazil, 2022, 115 mins. DIRECTOR: James Gray WITH: Anne Hathaway, Jeremy Strong, Anthony Hopkins, Banks Repeta Writer-director James Gray is a little more earthbound for his follow up to Ad Astra, but Armageddon Time is no less immersive. Because this isn’t a sequel to Michael Bay’s 1998 disaster film Armageddon, but a partially autobiographical coming-of-age tale that focuses on a Jewish family growing up in the 1980’s. It’s got a lot on its mind – themes of family, friendship, and the pursuit of the American Dream are all satisfyingly explored – and with the likes of Anthony Hopkins, Jessica Chastain, Anne Hathaway, and Jeremy Strong, an enviable cast to make that journey all the more moving. The Cambridge Film Festival is presented by the Cambridge Film Trust, a registered charity with a mission to foster film culture and education for the benefit of the public, in Cambridge and the Eastern region but also throughout the UK."
