(...)Die meisten von uns würden an einem bestimmten (unreifen) Punkt unseres Lebens auch Michelle vergöttern: Sie ist schön und charmant mit einem gewinnendem Lächeln. Sie hat aber keine innere Ruhe. Leonard glaubt, über einige entscheidenden Punkte hinweg sehen zu können: Michelle hat einen älteren Liebhaber und nimmt Drogen. Vermutlich sieht Leonard sich selbst als die Lösung ihrer Probleme. Es gibt aber ein Verständnisproblem seinerseits: Er verwechselt, dass sie ihn braucht damit, d

The acting is good in this film. The lead actors all do a good job with their characters. The ending of the film is unsatisfying and the last third of the film is not as good as the first two thirds of the film. Overall I can not recommend this one.

I think this grounded milieu suits Gray more than the organised crime stuff, if only for the fact that it doesn't allow him to turn it into an action movie in the third act. Though there is a surprising amount of tension in this, mostly down to the beautiful camera and exquisitely creepy sound design. My only complaint is that we're supposed to believe Vinessa Shaw is the frumpy girl starved for male attention compared to Paltrow's hot trainwreck. They both give great performances, but come on.

Joaquin Phoenix is great in this. The story is nothing special but it's a surprisingly good movie mainly because of him.

Good acting, nice cinematography, and a wonderfully specific sense of place. The film maker clearly understands the Brighton Beach Russian Jewish community in a very intimate way. It's an interesting question, whether or not to consider the ending happy.

Excellent film, which, although [beautifully] understated, is also very impressive in that it captures something of the porousness of that border btwn the ecstatic and absolute paranoia and despair, ubiquitous to Dosty's work. Interestingly the source material is one of the few of his relatively more popular stories that I've not gotten my hands on, so I could kind of inductively reckon out how he might've written parts originally. [shout-out to user AFlickering for the rec., btw-- cheers!].

subtle and brooding. lovely photography that involves teal and not orange. fantastic performance from phoenix, which now seems to be something i expect. a very involving, tense finale too. nonetheless, there is a tendency for it to be a bit SERIOUS ROMANCE IN NEW YORK.

A very well put-together and realistic romantic drama. The characters feel grounded in reality and so do their dilemmas, concerns and choices -resulting in a high level of emotional investment. The protagonistic trio is excellent (I found Platrow, in particular, to be surprisingly nuanced) and, even if the script occasionally resorts to dramatic opaqueness, the subdued melancholy of the finale seals the film's status as a minor classic for me.
