Anyone shunning Woody Allen’s artistic output will be depriving themselves of a bittersweet comedy peppered with splendid performances if they give A Rainy Day In New York a pass. Read full review

Not great, not hilarious, but not terrible or awful either. Read full review

With A Rainy Day in New York, Allen is spinning his wheels – revisiting familiar themes and ideas from other, earlier films that were presented to far better effect the first time around. Read full review

This is Allen’s 48th movie (a 49th, “Rifkin’s Festival,” premiered last month) and while he has certainly made worse films than this one during that time, rarely has he come up with something as utterly inconsequential as this collection of rehashed themes, characters, and punchlines.

This is a bad movie, with maybe two good jokes and some of Allen’s clunkiest direction. Read full review

Esse filme é incrivelmente bom. Um dos ápices artísticos do Woody. Selena Gomez sempre carismática, uma grande atriz.

Gatsby (what a great character name and played by Timothee Chalamet) is a student at Yardley College in upstate New York. Its a compromise between him and his parents, as Gatsby's main interests are card games and piano bars. Happily, Gatsby has a beautiful girlfriend, Ashleigh (Elle Fanning) who is a journalism student and writer for the college paper. Its Ashleigh's good fortune to snag an interview with a famous movie director, Pollard (Liev Schrieber) but must travel to Manhattan to meet this man. As this is Gatsby's home city, he is excited to come along and show her his favorite sights and the bar where they play the music he loves. So, off they go. After arrival, the two part, agreeing to meet for lunch after the Pollard meeting. But, things go off kilter. The director is in despair over the film he has just finished and, enchanted by Ashleigh's pretty face and winning ways, he insists she screen it with him. This will take hours and Gatsby gets the call she will be later than she expects. Annoying! Thus, Gatsby goes to visit his brother, who if about to be married. Horrors, this sibling tells Gatsby he can't go through with it, due to his fiancees screeching laugh. Having no advice, Gatsby then visits the set of an indie film being shot by an old friend where he runs into Chan (Selena Gomez) the younger sis of an old Gatsby girlfriend. She has agreed to be in the movie where she is to receive a passionate kiss in a convertible! All too soon, Gatsby gets persuaded to be in the movie and bestow this lip clencher. Ho ho ho. Although they trade barbs and insults, the kiss has rattled them both. As Ashleigh is still busy, Chan and Gatsby go visit a museum as rain is pouring. Wait, what's going on? Tihs enchanting film has all of Woody Allen's fabulous ingredients. The cast is great, with Chalamet shining brightly; all of the others, Fanning, Schieber, Jude Law, Rebecca Hall and the rest, do fine work, too. The sets are wonderful and the costumes snazzy. Most of all, the script is full of humor, pathos, and charm while the direction never falters. Yes, as stated many times, I am Allen's biggest fan living in Toledo, Ohio, which is nowhere at all. But, this film is superlative, matchless, everlasting and magical… Expand

Cozy movie to watch with friends or a lover (haha). It’s cute, funny, the actors were perfectly right for the part. Selena Gomez nailed it.

the only good part is selena and timothée captivating performances, all the others plots are boring and irrelevant.

"A Rainy Day in New York" may not be Woody Allen's best, though it's certainly a step up from many of the painful misfires he's launched in recent years. Despite a somewhat overwritten script, this largely inconsequential romance is breezy, modestly humorous and mildly entertaining, though"A Rainy Day in New York" may not be Woody Allen's best, though it's certainly a step up from many of the painful misfires he's launched in recent years. Despite a somewhat overwritten script, this largely inconsequential romance is breezy, modestly humorous and mildly entertaining, though it could definitely use more (and better) jokes, less overtly conspicuous name-dropping, less regurgitation of themes explored in previous projects, and leads who don't ham it up nearly as much as Timothee Chalamet and Elle Fanning do. To its credit, however, the narrative includes some intriguing little twists and turns, a handful of spot-on one-liners, and fine supporting performances by Liev Schreiber, Jude Law, Rebecca Hall and Cherry Jones. It's something of a letdown to see how this offering turned out given everything that transpired in connection with getting it released, but, considering Allen's track record with recent productions, it's not all that surprising, either.… Expand

This movie is filled to the brim with great performances, good cinematography, unnatural dialog, and really bad directing.
