People say this is one of the worst eras of filmmaking. Movies like this prove to me that simply isn't true. We are in what I would consider in what I would consider a golden age of "coming of age" films. Movies like Coda, Lady Bird, Wildflower, and Eighth Grade were excellent at capturing the human adolescent condition in the 21st century. Somewhere in Queens continues that trend while bringing something completely unique and fresh to the genre. Romano has taken some interesting roles in the past few years - movies like The Big Sick, The Irishman, and Paddleton really showed his range as an actor. He's just as good in this as anything he's done, and also showed his chops as a director. I really can't wait to see where his career goes next.
