Worth Watching: City Island

Who should watch it: New Yorkers, aspiring actors, De Niro fans.

Why you’ll like it: This indie comedy builds interesting characters and suspense by revealing secrets to the audience but not to the characters. City Island tells the surprisingly poignant story of a Bronx-born prison guard and aspiring actor who meets the 24-year-old son he’s never told his dysfunctional family about.

My rating: 4 stars out of 5.
