Ezra (out Aug 1) is a warm-hearted film which deftly illustrates the challenges of parental responsibility. It's centred on a not-so-successful comedian (Bobby Cannavale) trying to better connect with his 11-year-old autistic son (William Fitzgerald). The film provides a timely reminder that when it comes to being a supportive parent, no one is perfect. Life is a continual journey of learning and discovery. Grade: B+.
