Synopsis
City Island (2009) is an American comedy-drama worth watching online on iFILM. Set on a quiet sliver of the Bronx, the film follows the Rizzo family — a household where everyone is hiding something from everyone else. Raymond De Felitta directs Andy Garcia, Julianna Margulies, a very young Ezra Miller and Emily Mortimer.
Vince Rizzo is a corrections officer by day and a secret acting student in Manhattan by night. His wife suspects an affair. His daughter shot a nude film and hasn't told anyone. His son has developed an odd fixation on the neighbor next door. Then Vince brings home a parolee he suspects might be his son from a marriage no one in the family knows existed.
What makes City Island work is that no one is malicious — every lie in the house exists because someone was too embarrassed to tell the truth. It's a warm, genuinely funny portrait of a family unraveling and reassembling. Stream City Island (2009) online on iFILM.
