MARGARET’S TOP PICK
THE KING OF STATEN ISLAND (MA 15+)
AVAILABLE FROM OCTOBER 28
This semi-autobiographical film is the work of comedian Pete Davidson and director-producer Judd Apatow, who is known for his riotous comedies. However, this offering is like nothing Apatow has done before: it’s bemusing, confronting but ultimately uplifting.
Davidson’s dad was a Staten Island firefighter who was killed on the job while responding star was just seven when the towers came down and the loss left an immeasurable sadness in him.
