A meditation on isolation and intersection in the big city - the layered story of three characters who find courage to move to the next stage of life through profound encounters with strangers they meet on their daily routes. Rose, an optometrist paralyzed by crushing grief after the death of her infant, has built a wall around herself, unable to relate to her estranged husband or anyone else. When an elderly patient, a painter losing his eyesight, begins to visit her office unannounced, Rose registers how alone he is, urging him to reach out and ask for help--something neither does easily. Meanwhile Simon, a late-blooming teenager with an overbearing mother, photographs people at a distance with a borrowed long lens. One day, Rose, beautiful and melancholy in a vibrant scarf, comes into focus in his camera sight. The pictures he shoots become a conduit for each of them to touch something deep within and expand their confining existence.
Leave your thoughts about Adrift in Manhattan.
| Hollywood ReporterKirk HoneycuttThe film's most effective moments are its quietest. |
| New York Daily NewsJack MathewsAdrift is a small film with great humanity and deserves a broader audience than it's likely to get. |
| Film ThreatJamie TippsAdrift in Manhattan is a quietly moving film about alienation and connection. |
| CinematicalScott WeinbergThrow a rock into any year's Sundance guide and you're guaranteed to hit at least two or three multi-pronged grave and oh-so-earnest weep-dramas like this one. |
| New York PostLou LumenickAs in Allen's films, the extensive shooting -- mostly at locations in and around Central Park -- takes place in a whitebread world where the only person of color is Rosemary's nanny. |
| Village VoiceJulia WallaceYou can't build a movie around lingering, soulful shots of the No. 1 train zooming up and down the West Side. |
| User ReviewSophie FHow do you overcome grief? The intersecting lives of lonely people in the big city. |
| User ReviewDaniel PA movie around 3 main characters that are all going through some kind of grief and they all come together somehow. A very artistic and well made film |
| User ReviewPrivate UI watched all the way thru and have no idea why cause i lost interest and honestly don't know how it ends because I ended up just staring at the TV blankly. I give it the one star because I didnt end up turning it off. Maybe you need to have a longer attention span... |
| User ReviewTarun Sjust saw it a very nice flick with touching stories nice direction tho |
