"Armageddon Time"

An amazing cast heads this film which is about ... not sure.  It's one of those slice-of-life things.  The filmmaker recalls a time in his childhood when he befriended a Black kid and his grandfather tried to give him life advice.  It's awesome to see Anne Hathaway in a role which is less sweet than her normal fare and Anthony Hopkins is, well, Anthony Hopkins, but mostly it's just NYC working class Jews yelling at each other.  If there was a payoff for the kid from his life experiences, we didn't see it.  The whole movie is just a snapshot.  Interesting but not fufulling.  And the title is never explained.
