Preview One Of The Year's Best Movies With This 'Little Men' Clip

Ira Sachs' lovely new film about a teen friendship opens Aug. 5.
Magnolia Pictures

Let’s begin with some advice: Go see “Little Men” when it opens on Aug. 5. I saw it at Sundance in January, and I promise it is one of the year’s best movies.

Now, more specifically: The Huffington Post and its parent company, AOL, have a joint exclusive clip from the film. “Little Men” ― the latest from “Love Is Strange” and “Keep the Lights On” director Ira Sachs ― is about the burgeoning friendship of two teenage boys whose parents become embroiled in a Brooklyn rent squabble. Resentful, they decide not to speak to their folks until the conflict is resolved. Cue this scene, in which Greg Kinnear and Jennifer Ehle attempt to get the boys (played by charming newcomers Theo Taplitz and Michael Barbieri) to talk to them while headed to a theater production. It’s a good scene that honestly doesn’t even do the film justice. I can’t say enough positive things about “Little Men,” which HuffPost will cover more extensively next week. Keep this movie on your radar.
