Review of Autumn in New York (2000) by Jonathan W — 19 Sep 2007
As outlandish as their romance is, you find yourself rooting for Gere and Ryder in this bittersweet (if predictable) romance. Both leads are capable in their roles and give well-enough performances, and the supporting cast (LaPaglia and Hennessey) shines.
But the screenplay doesn't make it easy - it is syrupy, predictable and, at times, lazy; the main relationship feels rushed and lopsided, no matter how good Gere and Ryder are. The cinematography is exhilarating, though.
The movie is a valentine to New York and the beauty of the city, and there is always something to look at ... a watchable, but flawed, effort.
