Synopsis

It's always hard for the children of parents who are splitting up - and the same is true of Walt and Frank Berkman, whose teenage lives in 1970s New York are changed forever when their mother Joan and father Bernard decide to separate, and then divorce. Although their former writer dad is incredibly self-obsessed, 16 year old Walt instinctively takes his father's side. Despite the subject matter of this excellent movie, there's always plenty of dry humour at work, and while the results aren't always hugely cheerful, this is a smart and rewarding story.

What our educators say

"It really is a chance for us to open children's minds to the power of film not just as a vehicle for entertainment but also as a way in to understanding their own world and the worlds of people whose lives are very different."

- Marlon Perkins, Teacher, Whitstable and Seasalter Endowed CofE Junior School, Kent
