Leave your thoughts about New York, New York.
| Groucho ReviewsPeter CanaveseUltimately a very personal film about how Scorsese views a genre of film and, as such, has a much more coherent vision than its reputation would suggest. [Blu-ray] |
| Washington PostGary ArnoldMartin Scorsese's musical saga "New York, New York" is the keenest disappointment of the summer. |
| EspinofAdrian MassanetThe planning and staging of Scorsese is as brilliant as ever, but the vital vicissitude of these characters remains a mere anecdote. [Full Review in Spanish] |
| Chicago ReaderDave KehrMartin Scorsese created a very handsome and dynamic film, but the spectacular set pieces don't add up to much. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertMartin Scorsese's New York, New York never pulls itself together into a coherent whole, but if we forgive the movie its confusions we're left with a good time. |
| TIME MagazineChristopher PorterfieldIf this movie were a big-band arrangement, it would be a duet for a sax man and a girl singer, but with the soloists in a different key from the band. |
| Empire MagazineDamon WiseMartin Scorsese's criminally neglected tribute to the heyday of the MGM musical has aged astonishingly well. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThere are some things about it that rub me the right way: it has style, fire in its belly, great visuals and was ahead of its time. |
| DVDLaserDouglas PrattFrom a story perspective, nothing happens in the film's 'last act,' but from an emotional perspective, everything happens. Minnelli's performance leaves its peak and soars. |
| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfA stagebound valentine, but one vigorously constructed down to the last detail, with Scorsese reveling in the costumes and music. It's an itch that spreads into a full-body rash in the final act. |
