Brian Jardine (Greg Kinnear) inherits a building in Brooklyn. Due to the difficult economic situation the Jardines move into the new house where they meet Leonor (Paulina García). She’s an immigrant who runs a clothes shop on the ground floor of the property. Soon Brian’s son and Leonor develop a close and peculiar friendship based on mutual trust and a shared interest in art. The situation gets difficult when, forced by their economic situation, Brian puts up the rent for the shop. Little Men is an extension of Ira Sach’s previous film Love is Strange, where economic problems affect love relationships. Ira Sachs portrays the urban phenomenon of gentrification, which has been very rarely treated with such determination in cinematography. This could be a Chekhov film - it’s not by chance that the play Jake’s father stars in is “The Seagull”. With every fade-to-black, Sachs seems to initiate a new chapter in the story. It’s an intimate and calm film but also has dynamism and the characters are continuously learning and exploring the new situations with which they’re faced. Little Men is a moving and sentimental film with a star-studied cast. Acclaimed by national and international critics as one of the best films of the year.
