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
Thia is the only idea that caught my attention in this film.
Being a thirteen or so young boy with a caring full family that loves you, and protects you, this is a privilege.
But no boy at that age is going to realise it despite all the trouble he seems to adore.
I actually hoped the film will focus on the idea of art at that time and originality, but apparently they had other plans.
I think the film discussed and focused at that period of time as a whole and its after effects on the new generation of young boys. Honestly, i didn't feel connected to the boy. I wasn't engaged.
Other than all that, the acting was very good and Sir Anthony Hopkins is always nice to see.
