Plot
NEW York, I Love You (rendition of the famed Paris, Je T'aime [2006]), is a collaboration of storytelling from some of today's most imaginative filmmakers, featuring an all-star cast. Together they create a kaleidoscope of the spontaneous, surprising, electrifying human connections that pump the city's heartbeat. Sexy, funny, haunting and revealing encounters unfold beneath the Manhattan skyline. From Tribeca to Central Park to Brooklyn, the story weaves a tale of love as diverse as the very fabric of New York itself.
Review
NEW York, I Love You is a cinematic salon where the topic is the serendipity of romantic possibilities to be found in Manhattan's coffee shops, restaurants, shops, bars and backrooms. Eleven directors (and even more writers) have turned up for the party, offering up 11 distinct tales of the city.
A few of the movie morsels prove delicious, particularly those from directors Yvan Attal, Shekhar Kapur, Jiang Wen and Fatih Akin; a few of them seem half-baked; and most are never quite enough to completely satisfy.
Where Paris, Je T'aime was the ingénue, fresh-faced and surprising, NEW York, I Love You needed to come in with the confidence of a more practiced hand, and it never quite manages that. Better to think of it as a day trip rather than an actual film, just a brief, mostly delightful excursion into the city.
Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times
THIS isn't a realistic portrait of Big Apple romance. This is a valentine from a band of fervid international suitors. It's a bit too arty, and a bit too cute, but it charms and cajoles with the pluck of a native New Yorker.
Amy Biancolli, San Francisco Chronicle
