Scorsese's part is good, Woody's is the best by a mile and Coppola's is so embarrassingly bad that I can't believe they left it in the movie. Just a terrible, terrible script by Francis and Sofia. Woody's part was hilarious though, just hope you can get through Coppola's to see it.

With the three directors being Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola & Woody Allen, you'd expect something pretty spectacular. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Scorsese's film was alright. It had some nice stuff, but nothing special. Coppola's film was terrible. I didn't even get it, really. It was strange & quite off-putting. Thankfully, Allen's film was good. It was funny, fun & typically Woody Allen. It's probably not his best work, but it was entertaining & the best of the three by far.

84 is for the Scorsese; 70 for the Woody Allen; 20 for the Coppola. I could have averaged them, for a mean score of 58, but that seemed pretty meaningless.

I wish that New York Stories didn't exist so that Woody Allen's Oedipus Wrecks could have been its own feature. It was hilarious. He makes short movies anyways, wouldn't have been that much of a stretch. It single handedly saved New York Stories. Scorsese's and Coppola's were huge bombs. So uninteresting.

Scorsese's part is good. The other two's aren't worth your time.

Coppola's work decreases the average point.. I liked Scorsese's film .. Woody Allen knows how to create lovable female characters :D Mae Qustel was funny :D

The last one, Woody Allen's Oedipus Wrecks was great! I like the typical Jewish mother -I really liked the mother figure who always knows what is best for her little boy !!!

Allen's story is easily the best for me. Scorsese's ok and Coppola is weak but still worth, in case you wanna see some of Sofia's later leitmotiv starting to be sketched (in a very poor way, though).

Allen and Scorsese's pieces are decent enough and enjoyable, but oh man, Coppola's is a disaster.

Scorsese - 76: Interesting drama featuring a terrific performance from Nolte, but hampered by overdone directorial choices. A fascinating stylistic exercise, but ultimately hollow. Coppola - 38: Irritatingly saccharin and coy fable; borderline unwatchable at times, though Storaro's cinematography is exquisite. Performances are patronising in the worst way. Allen - 94: Hilarious and witty comedy; Woody is wonderful in the lead, Questel a scream in support. Great bit for Kavner as well.

Unfortunately the only short film that is worth a damn is Scorsese's "Life Lessons". Coppola's film "Life Without Zoe" is a bore, and Allen's film has a funny payoff that is true to its "Oedipus Wrecks" name - but the getting there just isn't very funny. As a fan of all three big directors, this is a shame. Scorsese's film is quite good as a portrayal of art and ego.
