St. Urbain's Horseman

I watched the first half of this two-parter last night. I didn’t like it. I watched it because some scenes were filmed on my friend’s street, but I didn’t recognize anything last night.

I read the book over 20 years ago, and a lot of it came back to me while watching, but the characters aren’t developed at all, and the casting is totally uninspired. The only scenes that feel in any way authentic are the few where the fathers, Mr. Hirsch and Mr. Kravitz, are sitting in the coffee shop gabbing about the state of their world.

I don’t know who the lead actor is but his charisma rates a zero. Very disappointing.
