![]() ![]() Terry, in his teen years, shows a preternatural giftedness in school that catches the notice of his teachers, including a kindly one played by Amelia Workman (restrained but emotionally potent here). And meanwhile, reports of Terry’s abduction loom around their lives. ![]() But in the background, Lucky and Inez’s relationship has its own complications. ![]() As Terry gets older, he bonds with Lucky over a shared love of music, and Lucky becomes as much of a father to Terry as he possibly could. “I’ll go to war for you, against anybody, against this whole fucked-up city.” And so it’s Inez and Terry against the city, even as Inez tries to bring a paternal figure into the child’s life by marrying Lucky (William Catlett), her on-and-off-again romantic partner. “Would it make you feel better if you came to stay with me?” she asks the small boy. Inez, out of jail and a job, learns that Terry is in hospital after falling out a window trying to escape his foster parents. Rockwell’s direction is sophisticated and visually imaginative even as the movie could benefit from a tighter edit around its New York cast of characters and the rapidly changing city in the hands of mayors Rudy Giuliani and Michael Bloomberg.
