This is an affecting and heartening coming-of-age tale about a young boy’s rite of passage. David is an 11-year-old Jewish kid with an innocent love of cricket (at which he isn’t any good) and his peers regularly humiliate him at his Prep school. On the street the neighbours are scaring David’s attractive young mother, Ruth (played by Emily Woof) with their questions about who is going to move in next door when the only other Jewish family moves off to greener pastures. They want a “respectable” (read white, read English) replacement. What they get is the first black family to hit the neighbourhood. This is strongly acted, strongly written fare. < less
