Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe film's title is a reference to the song "Armagideon Time" by The Clash, as well as a reference to Ronald Reagan, who James Gray said was "always talking about the armageddon." He said Reagan was, "always mentioning the world ending. It was cultural trauma. That weighed on kids in 1980. In the [Reagan interview] clip you see in the movie, he's actually talking about Armageddon as a result of homosexuality, which is crazy. He's talking about Sodom and Gomorrah."
- GoofsPaul is sent to Forest Manor School, which is overseen and financed by Frederick Trump. Trump never oversaw or financed a school. He sat on the board of Kew-Forest, which his children Maryanne and Donald attended. That said, this *goof* was likely intentional on the part of the filmmakers.
- Quotes
Paul Graff: Sometimes kids at school say bad words about the Black kids.
Grandpa Aaron Rabinowitz: What do you do when that happens?
Paul Graff: Obviously, nothing, of course.
Grandpa Aaron Rabinowitz: Do you think that's smart?

Featured review
You've seen it many times before, watching other people grow up's such a chore, we've all been adolescent, distracted and pubescent, it's a boring set of takes and you will snore. Perhaps if it had something new to say, portrayed a family more uniquely in their way, a novel circumstance, to catch your eye, a second glance, not monotony of children in their play. If you make it to the end you might just wonder, why fine actors chose to loot your time and plunder, must be quite a fallow year, to want to make this and appear, in something that's so dull, it makes you want to slumber.
Although it also makes you wonder whether an aging Welshman is the only person who could have filled that specific role.
