A stunningly good directorial debut for Ray Romano is driven from an excellent script. This story centers powerfully around themes of family. Romano's stellar performance as a middle aged man coming to terms with his life perfectly intersects with his 18 year old son's coming-of-age experiences of first love & discovering how own passions. Somewhere in Queens gets so much right about the different ways people express love and how that doesn't always work for our loved ones. The third act of this film delivers a comical yet dramatic feud that I enjoyed a lot. Concluding with Leo's son learning to express his anxiety effectively to his parents while discovering "something of his own" is well done. This movie also delivers a lot of Queens-specific references that are fun if you live in Queens so bonus points.
