I just didn't like this film. Part of the problem is I am not at all an Andy Farcia fan, he's doing his wannabe Al Pacino bit as usual…

More Reviews of New York Stories

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…

Woody's segment is great; the other two are awful…

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

Good idea but uneven execution…

The use of Whiter Shade of Pale is the mean reason why I remembered this film, which is weird considering the floating head of Woody Allens…

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

This film deserves four stars based solely on the strength of Martin Scorcese's contribution starring Nick Nolte…

I don't know why people are so hard on Francis…

Scorsese's segment is awesome, Coppola's is fucking terrible, and Allen's is just kinda there…

Five stars for Scorsese's segment, which is one of the best short films of all time, and for Allen's segment, which is highly enjoyable and…
