"James Gray really can write psychologically and morally complex characters better than the vast majority of filmmakers working today. The central family portrayed in his latest film showcases this. The people in Gray's 1980 New York are all remarkably flawed with objectionable traits and tendencies, yet they have tangible human qualities that make watching them a constantly riveting experience. They struggle to live and love and Gray gives them all little satisfying moments to grow. As for the performances, they're equally awe-inspiring, especially Anne Hathaway and Anthony Hopkins..."
💡 Did You Know?
The film's title is a reference to the song "Armagideon Time" by The Clash, as well as a reference to Ronald Reagan, who James Gray said was "always talking about the armageddon." He said Reagan was, "always mentioning the world ending. It was cultural trauma. That weighed on kids in 1980. In the [Reagan interview] clip you see in the movie, he's actually talking about Armageddon as a result of homosexuality, which is crazy. He's talking about Sodom and Gomorrah."
