“Movie: The King of Staten Island”

The actor stars as a 24-year-old high-school dropout who lives with his mother (Marisa Tomei) on Staten Island. Bill Burr and Bel Powley co-star.

Based on the novel by Edith Robinson and directed by Loretta Todd (“Hands of History,” “The Learning Path”), this 2020 mystery stars Grace Dove (“The Revenant”) as a young Indigenous woman who reflects on her life when she returns to her hometown and awaits news about her missing-at-sea brother.
