Armageddon Time (2022 James Gray & scr)

A Quatre Cents Coup set in NYC in the 1980s. Wilful teenager Banks Repeta only gets on with his grandfather, a sage Anthony Hopkins, in family of Anne Hathaway, Jeremy Strong and Ryan Sell. Befriends delinquent Jaylin Webb (a charismatic performance) who is having much more serious family problems of his own. It leads them to crime...

And as he walks off in the end, we don't know really if he's listened to anyone.

I would not have guessed it's a Darius Kondji film, it's so murky - shot with 1970s lenses on digital.
