Synopsis
Little Men (2016) is an American indie drama you can watch online on iFILM. Thirteen-year-old Jake, a quiet kid who'd rather draw than talk, moves with his parents into an apartment they've just inherited in Brooklyn.
Downstairs, a dressmaker named Leonor runs a shop, and her son Tony is everything Jake isn't: loud, fast-talking, dead set on acting. The two boys click almost instantly and become inseparable. Then the adults fall out over the lease — Jake's father wants to raise the rent, Leonor can't pay more — and the grown-ups' standoff slowly poisons a friendship the kids did nothing to break. Theo Taplitz and Michael Barbieri play the boys; Greg Kinnear, Jennifer Ehle, and Paulina García play the parents.
Director Ira Sachs builds a small, exact film about money, class lines, and how a child's loyalty gets crushed between adult ledgers. If you love restrained, chamber-sized dramas in the Kenneth Lonergan vein, this one lands. Stream Little Men (2016) online on iFILM.
