Enjoyed this for the great writing, acting, directing. Ms Portman should be proud

Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2017

Kudos to Natalie Portman for creating this great movie. I'm not going to criticize those who hated it. I have a fairly high IQ, excellent taste, and i lived in NYC in 1977. I did not really pay much attention to Ms Portman in Star Wars; she caught my attention in V for Vendetta, and of course she deserved the Oscar for Best Actress in Black Swan. I enjoyed every vignette: to me they were all excellent, some poignant, some with a surprise ending, and some laugh out loud hilarious. I enjoyed the varied cast of great actors. I had searched Carlos Acosta, the great, world class dancer from Cuba, and his resumé led me to this movie, which i then ordered on faith. And his piece about being the dad (mistaken for a "manny") to a little girl who was completely in love with life, and her dad, was so uplifting (Carlos even performs a segment of a modern ballet)! I read a very negative review about 'New York, I Love You', and am very glad i did not let it dissuade me from ordering. I feel a little sad for those who could not appreciate it, but to each his own.

I'd say this film probably depicts everyday life in the Big Apple and most possibly every large metropolitan city in the USA. Very enjoyable, fun film. Great acting with engaging characters. Beautiful scenery of NYC. Enjoyed this movie as a nice diversion - nothing heavy or overly dramatic here. Just pure enjoyable pass the time entertainment. :-)

New York, I Wanted to Love You!

Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2023

Very much wanted to love this because of the number of well-known actors in it, plus NEW YORK!!... but overall was left depressed and somewhat grossed out. From a filmmaker's perspective or a film student's perspective, it would be a fascinating study, as the cinematography and the music is undeniably beautiful.

But too many forced, not funny cliches, and morbid sudden scenes of blood and death, left me feeling quite melancholy and dispirited. Where exactly was the love? Maybe in the old couple at the very end, but even that felt very cliche. Clearly I guess it all depends upon the perspective from which you approach this film.

It was visually enchanting, invites you in to be intrigued, but then leads you down blind alleys, never quite touching your heart or living up to its promise. If you're in a depressed mood to begin with, beware, because you will be even more so after watching this. Speaking for myself of course. Maybe you are a sturdier type, emotionally unfazed by morbid Art Films.

Still, 3 stars at least for enchanting cinematography and beautiful music. A film students dream. You could write your thesis on it, making many deep and astute connections. Camera angles, color saturation, tonality, etc... What was the symbolism of the amber tone in the first vignette? Why were the white curtains blowing in and out in the scene with the retired opera singer? And like that.

It Captures New York

I loved this movie because, well...........I love New York. The city is the subject of this movie. It presents a kaleidoscope of changing scenery, background noise, and cultural aesthetics. It's diverse and majestic, dominant in its presence. A truly heroic background for the human drama unfolding within it, elevating the mundane and making the magical seem possible.

+too disjointed for me, never could get into it

Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2021

Maybe if they had taken one of the stories and developed it, which would have taken a lot more effort this would have been good watch as it was it was so disjoint that I could neer get into it. I am not a fan of the short story with no beginning and no end.

Fast pace movie

Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2018

Verified Purchase

This movie is very beautifully put together and not for everyone to watch, each storyline has a tragedy that slowly morphs into a well thought out ending, this movie is ahead of its time and not easily enjoyed or appreciated by many people, but honestly i really liked it and recommend it if you just want to feel content while watching something that goes by rather quickly.

So Many Films...So Much Romance

Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2014

Verified Purchase

I got this film (or "these films") out of sheer curiosity...what exactly brought on that curiosity remains a mystery to me. Ultimately, there was just so much love and romance in these ten (I think it was ten) short films that I began to feel like Al Bundy...frustrated and uninterested in the concept. I will say that for not being a household name among directors like Steven Spielberg, Martin scorsese, or Woody Allen, these directors all did a good job. I'm sure people with more romantic sentements will enjoy this film even more. It's not that I know nothing about romance and meanings and all that...I just have my limits. Someone with greater range in this area is better suited to be sitting in the audience. If that's you, more power to you. Enjoy.

Well written, well shot, well thought out. I took away one star for there not being enough diversity in skin tone among the actors.
