I thoroughly enjoyed going to see this movie but if you only like conventional, formulaic Hollywood movies then stay away. The stories were varied and interesting and everything felt well crafted despite some disjointedness due to all the different directors involved. Not quite as good as Jim Jarmusch’s Night On Earth, which for me remains the ultimate...
A cosmopolitan mix of of love stories ... A delightful experience

pressMost of these linked "shorts" succeed remarkably in nailing the serendipitous flavor of love, New York-style.
