Leave your thoughts about The Last New Yorker.
| NewsBlazeKam WilliamsA measured, minimalist masterpiece which is mostly a sweet homage to such rapidly disappearing Manhattan trademarks of yore as the neighborhood bar and the corner diner. |
| Time OutAndrew GrantOffers not just a rare portrait of urban septuagenarians, but one without a hint of dewy-eyed nostalgia. |
| ColeSmithey.comCole SmitheyGuided by photographer-turned-director Harvey Wang's keen eye for Manhattan's fast-disappearing landscape of dive bars, diners, and bodegas "The Last New Yorker" is delightful chamber piece of romantic comedy. |
| New York PostV.A. MusettoOn the plus side, Derek McKane's moody camerawork makes Gotham look grand. Too bad it's wasted on The Last New Yorker. |
| Village VoiceAaron HillisConsidering how meticulously Wang location-scouted the project--documenting all the barely surviving (or since closed down) luncheonettes, Irish pubs, hosieries, and shoe repair joints of yesteryear--it's a shame he couldn't stick to his shutterbug roots and shoot a documentary instead. |
| Newark Star-LedgerStephen WhittyThere were reasons to hope that The Last New Yorker would be better than this. |
| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferA sweet, charming and warm romantic drama that suffers from being lazy, inorganic and seriously lacking in character development. The only scene-stealing, lively character is actually the city of New York itself. |
| The AtlanticEd KochI thought the dialogue between the parties was inadequate, the script preposterous, and the attempt to visually capture the uniqueness of New York City a failure. |
| The New York TimesStephen HoldenThe Last New Yorker would like to think of itself as a comic fairy tale, but Lenny’s pride and self-delusion are too pathetic to be amusing. |
| New York Daily NewsJoe NeumaierWang tracks his guys like the documentarian he is, and if the movie feels a bit canned thanks to Adam Forgash's unoriginal script, classic NYC spots and a big heart make it feel like home. |
