Review of New York, I Love You (2008) by Siobhan C — 15 Jul 2014

I liked this about as much as Paris, Je T'aime, which is to say not so much. The attraction of course is the all-star cast involved, its a regular omnibus of talent in a series of 10 artsy, disjointed short stories about love and relationships in New York.

It's a mixed bag; some good, some boring, some make you think and some are just plain bizarre but none of them are really long enough to matter. This didn't leave its mark on me and if there was a bigger message meant to be conveyed, I didn't get it.

Mostly it was a waste of time. A couple stories did stand out I guess; Natalie Portman as a Hasidic Jew fantasizing about her East Indian diamond broker, Anton Yelchin was good -weird, silly story, Um yeah, a big waste of talent.
