LIfe Lessons and Oedipus Wrecks was fantastic, Life Without ZoÃ« on the other hand...so bad, the worst ever directed by Francis Ford Coppola,…

Coppola's story is terrible. Scorcese's story is really great but stretched. Woody Allen's one is perfect for the format…

Nice film, the first two stories are a bit slow, but the third is classic Allen…

Elokuva kertoo kolme tarinaa joita yhdistaa kaupunki, eli New york…

Overall, three short films by very accomplished directors who have ALL delivered much better work…

Here's three iconic filmmakers presenting three different tales set in the Big Apple, those filmmakers being Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford…

Don't care much for the middle story from the Coppolas…

Looking at this as a whole it suffers because of the stinker in the middle…

I loved Scorsese and Allen's segments- these were wonderfully contrasted pieces. Coppola's, however, is rather pithy in comparision…

Good idea but uneven execution…
