A lot of great stuff, but I wish it'd been tied together a little more. But Ethan Hawke's segment is worth the price of admission--maybe getting what you're looking for, and more, can turn a person around.

Pointless. Just not worth your time at all.

Wanted to love it but it pathetically tries to be artsy and the stories, for the most part, just aren't interesting whatsoever

The first New York movie that made me long for NY again, after 11 years...

I live in New York and I have to say this movie is bullshit.

The stories don't intersect, and each director was only given two days to shoot and one week to edit. Some have ironic twist endings, others are small slices of life with a classic New York vibe. As expected, the results are uneven, but with a maximum eight-minute runtime per story, there's always something new coming shortly.

I am not sure what the point of making this movie was. It shows little snippets of different couples lives, with no overarching story or plot and nothing to connect them except that they live in New York. There are a few interesting moments, but ultimately it is disconnected and rather pointless.

I was expecting something along the lines of Paris Je T'Aime. Instead I got something along the lines of Gossip Girl. The Shekhar Kapur section was a notable exception - though it could just as easily have done without it's suprise ending...

Definitely not as good as Paris, Je T'aime, even though New York is my favorite city. There's a few entertaining shorts, a few that are laughably artsy-fartsy (the one starring Shia LeBeouf especially), and a few that are straightforward but pretty pointless.

Some pieces are wonderful, the others are very good. You'll smile tenderly.

It's all decent but none of the shorts manage to really impress me. Passes the time but it's nothing you can't miss.

Test review

Interesting common stories in NY.

They put the bilson and portman scenes next to eachother. Not sure that's effective when I was going to turn it off after I had seen both of those.

why waste several good directors and great actors to make a lousy movie when you can do it with just one bad director and a couple of average actors ??... complete lack of integrity... great acting from shia labeouf though...

the relation to the setting is very loose on these shorts, as they rely more heavily on the "relationships of individuals" angle to carry their stories. the cosmopolitan nature of new york is finely portrayed, there are some funny bits and consistently good cinematography as well.

Short films that tell nothing at all.
