opened in NY & LA last month ...

I guess it is already available for on-line streaming.

Syd, an eccentric bookseller with delusions of grandeur fueled by red wine, caused a rift five years ago between the freewheeling bohemian residents of his house and the family next door. Over the course of a balmy summer, he now tries to draft the boy next door to make videos for his online book business. Introverted young Curtis is reluctant at first, but soon gets drawn in by Syd's creative fervor. Their unlikely bond dissolves bad blood between their households, replacing old grudges and repressed secrets with new camaraderie and fresh possibility. The transformative power of forgiveness sparks Curtis’s first seminal summer and a season of change for all.

Curtis is played by Gideon Parker, age 9 ...

I guess this will never be on DVD, so I finally paid for streaming.

It is an interesting low-budget movie.
Writer/Director Laura Collela used her own house and neighborhood
as location, her own housemates and neighbors as cast.

Jonah Parker plays Curtis, the painfully shy boy next door.
(Like all sensible boys, he is barefoot all summer.
That really is him playing Beethoven on the piano.  The on-line
videos made by Curtis in the movie were actually made by Jonah.)
Actors include not only Jonah's younger brother--as Curtis 5 years
ago--but also Jonah's parents and two other relatives
