Leave your thoughts about New York Stories.
| Washington PostJoe BrownA novel and fascinating foray into highly stylized, highly personal filmmaking. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsMark R. LeeperTouchstone has given three popular directors a chance to work with a shorter-than-feature-length piece. |
| New York TimesVincent CanbyIt's still too early to tell whether the cheering New York Stories will be a box-office hit, but one can hope. |
| Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumWhether it happened by chance or design, the sketches have more than just New York in common: all three have something to do with middle age, as well as with romantic relationships. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertNew York Stories consists of three films, one good, one bad, one disappointing. |
| User Reviewandrew hI've only seen Life Without Zoe, but it was adorable! |
| User ReviewJack LFive for Woody's masterpiece, four for Scorsese's provoking tale and two for Coppola's pointless excursion. |
| User ReviewWojciech KScorsese and Allen are the shit. Coppola and Sofia... ok. |
| User ReviewJohn BFive stars for Scorsese's segment, which is one of the best short films of all time, and for Allen's segment, which is highly enjoyable and very funny. |
| User ReviewMitchell W"Life Lessons" is one of Scorsese's finest films and Woody Allen's "Oedipus Wrecks" is fairly amusing, but the Coppolas' "Life Without Zoe" is terrible. If possible, see it on Blu-Ray - the original DVD is a pan-and-scan transfer (not open matte) and it doesn't do justice to Almendros' work on "Life Lessons." |
