What makes for a strong New York movie?
The standouts are often, like the city itself, unpredictable, a little shabby around the edges, sometimes exasperating but always compelling.
The Tribeca Festival, which runs Wednesday to June 18, has loved this kind of work since its beginnings and has made it a point to celebrate the films set right in its backyard.
This year will feature one such movie made by one of the festival’s founders.
The film shows a reverence for the neighborhood in which much of it takes place, and Mr. De Niro brings a knowing eye to the material.
