Maxwell (Jonathan Kaufer) gives what is probably the most understated performance of the year (now that we're in Oscar season) as Peggy's boyfriend who is attempting to live with his wild girlfriend and find contentment in his own quiet way.

Like Thomas Dewey and Henry Stimson, earlier New York prosecutors who parlayed their convictions into prominent national careers, Giuliani has become a high-profile, white-hatted gangbuster in an age when the public yearns for someone to prove that crime doesn...
