Review of New York Stories (1989) by Pierluigi P — 31 Aug 2007

Scorsese's segment is the best, great story, cinematography and acting. Allen's one is pretty charming and funny, but Coppola knocks down the show with a worthless piece of childish crap.

Muy interesante a nivel cinematográfico…

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

What a hotchpotch of films! The first (Scorcese) is woefully overblown, heavy-handed, banal and predictable…

Interesting array of shorts, with Scorsese's effort standing out most…

I only got to see Scorcese's story which was really good…

As a whole it's average but that's because the Coppola film is horrible. The other two are decent…

Uninteresting material generally mishandled by three directors who should have known better…

Go ahead and skip through the middle coppola section. the scorsese part is the main feature…

Life Lessons is one of Scorsese's finest films and Woody Allen's Oedipus Wrecks is fairly amusing, but the Coppolas' Life Without Zoe is terrible…

Scorcese: 6/10 it's good but hindered by not feeling real coppola: 2/10 which is sadly even worse than his par after the 70s allen: 7.5/10…
