It was an honor and a privilege to get to watch this film. The film is authentic to New York, family, Italian-American heritage, Staten Island and what it was like growing up in that era and time. From the outfits to the soundtrack, the attention to detail in Jennifer Esposito's directorial debut was impeccable. The writing is superb, the performances outstanding, strong character development, everyone can see themselves in one or more of these characters. While it is in essence a mob film, it is so much more than that. The heart of the film is in family, the bond between two sisters, how family dynamics shape who you become in life, the challenges of getting over the past and breaking generational curses, the story is so deep! Pay attention to everything, listen to the dialogue, everything ties in full circle. Please go see this film, you will be so happy that you did!
