In the city that never sleeps, love is always on the mind. Those passions come to life in NEW YORK, I LOVE YOU – a collaboration of storytelling from some of today’s most imaginative filmmakers and 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. (Vivendi Entertainment)

ReelViews James Berardinelli
Oddly, the filmmaker best known for his Valentines to New York, Woody Allen, is not participant.
Read Full Review >Entertainment Weekly Lisa Schwarzbaum
These tales are as highly designed as fashion layouts. But they're as relaxing to thumb through as those NYT Magazine trend pieces.
Read Full Review >Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert
Look at the cast and credits to form an idea of the directors and actors at work here. By its nature, New York, I Love You can't add up. It remains the sum of its parts. If one isn't working for you, wait a few minutes, here comes another one. New Yorkers, I love you.
Read Full Review >Philadelphia Inquirer Carrie Rickey
The film is an omnibus ride through Brighton Beach, Central Park, the West Village, and Tribeca.
Read Full Review >San Francisco Chronicle Amy Biancolli
Gamely tries to capture a vast, twinkling cityscape with not one love story - but 11 little ones, a few of them overlapping.
Read Full Review >Chicago Reader Andrea Gronvall
The project is lush and seductive as a whole, though some segments are especially vibrant.
Read Full Review >The Hollywood Reporter Erica Abeel
Most of these linked "shorts" succeed remarkably in nailing the serendipitous flavor of love, New York-style.
Read Full Review >Washington Post Philip Kennicott
A light but enjoyable souffle of erotic vignettes.
Read Full Review >St. Louis Post-Dispatch Joe Williams
Neither a comprehensive guide nor consistently good, but because the theme is romance, most of these small bites of the Big Apple are easy to digest.
Read Full Review >USA Today Claudia Puig
If you're not a stickler for consistency, this is an effective pastiche and tribute to one of the world's most enticing cities.
Read Full Review >Chicago Tribune Michael Phillips
Provides some compensatory satisfactions, thanks mostly to the actors, as they make the most of a series of pencil sketches.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles Times Betsy Sharkey
Where "Paris" was the ingénue, fresh-faced and surprising, "New York" 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.
Read Full Review >Boston Globe Wesley Morris
New York, I Love You wants us to know that the city is a sexy, romantic, thrillingly random place where anything can go down. Sadly, two of those things are your eyelids.
Read Full Review >Village Voice Michelle Orange
As with its predecessor, "Paris je t'aime," there are hits and misses.
Read Full Review >Miami Herald Rene Rodriguez
The result, as is always the case with short story collections, is a mixed bag, although unlike "Paris Je T'Aime," the duds outnumber the winners this time.
Read Full Review >The Onion (A.V. Club) Sam Adams
The segments don’t form anything like a coherent whole, but they aren’t distinctive enough to clash meaningfully with each other, either.
Read Full Review >Christian Science Monitor Peter Rainer
Doesn't evoke New York and its vignettes are trite – with one exception, a touching sequence directed by Mira Nair with Natalie Portman as a Hasidic bride and Irrfan Khan as a Jain diamond merchant.
Read Full Review >The New York Times A.O. Scott
The pieces of New York, I Love You make up a parallel city that no one would want to live in, much less visit.
Read Full Review >New York Daily News Elizabeth Weitzman
Anyone who actually adores New York is unlikely to appreciate this disappointingly bland collection of shorts, which might as well have been called "Madrid, Te Amo" or "Cincinnati, You're the Best."
Read Full Review >Time Out New York Joshua Rothkopf
Cutesy and generic, New York, I Love You is almost colossally inept at capturing five-boroughs flavor.
Read Full Review >Variety Jay Weissberg
The results are, well, formulaic, hobbled by weak dialogue and absent any sense of texture.
Read Full Review >Wall Street Journal Joe Morgenstern
What's remarkable here is the consistency of the mediocrity.
Read Full Review >NPR Scott Tobias
Despite Benhiby's best efforts to create one from many, the only thing the roughly 10-minute segments in New York, I Love You have in common are a general air of indifference.
Read Full Review >New York Post Lou Lumenick
When New York, I Love You was previewed in Toronto a year ago, there were two additional segments that have since been cut. So you'll have to wait for the DVD to see just how bad Scarlett Johansson's directing debut is.

Come on, let’s not pretend that New York is simply a place for Wall Street New Yorkers, or where shoppers spend money in fancy Park Avenue stores, or move in and out of financial institutions, or a city of Broadway theaters, museums, the Rockefeller Center, and all those tourist landmarks, marketed by NY travel guides, to lure the wide-eyed, giddy-headed and ignorant tourists who enter and leave NY, probably clueless to certain aspects that’s part and puzzle of New York life! How many non-New Yorkers that there is the 47th Street Diamond District where one can meet Hasidic workers? How many fools have simply paid the price tagged to items in ethnic shops without bargaining down the price? Or walk from Chinatown toward Williamsburg Bridge and observe the Hasidic Community with their traditional practices. Just visit Algonquin Hotel and you’d be bound to find several celebrities living there to remind you of Julie Christie’s Isabelle. How many of these fading celebrities regard their lives have reached an end, when all they need to do is to take a serious look at the lowly-paid servers, struggling to make ends meet. Jam yourself with the evening crowds along Avenue of the Americas with its side-street vendors and fell lucky if you’re not a victim of pickpockets. And how many do realize that some NY neighborhoods are having problems with prostitution and solicitation? Yes, the filmmakers are bold enough to expose the challenges New Yorkers know and face. And yes, despite the existence of challenges and seemingly unbecoming ways and attidudes of some, New Yorkers still love their New York. And these stories do bring a reality that true New Yorkers, who love New York, are not wimps, but tough survivors who understand that New York is simplynot a fantasy land of all that glitters!

Great date movie. Really fun.
