William H. Macy shines in this dramatic study of bigotry in 1940s America. A Christian named Lawrence Newman (Macy) experiences prejudice when he gets a pair of glasses and is suddenly perceived as Jewish. Anti-Semitic thugs in his Brooklyn neighborhood vandalize his home and the store of a Jewish shopkeeper (David Paymer), threatening to do more damage in the future. Meat Loaf Aday, Laura Dern.
