New York, I Love You is mostly peaks and valleys, but never less than entertaining or interesting. Since this is a collection of short films by different production teams some of them are more interesting than the others. As is to be expected, honestly. The lowest lowlight for me was the short featuring Christina Ricci, a talented actress whom I adore, in a glorified cameo trying to generate some chemistry with cardboard cutout Orlando Bloom. The surrealistic trip with Shia LeBeouf, Julie Christie and Jon Hurt was intruiging, puzzling and moving in equal measures. Cloris Leachman and Eli Wallach as a married old couple celebrating their sixty-third anniversary ranked very high on my favorites for the comedic and emotional notes it managed to strike so effortlessly. And Natalie Portman’s writing and directing debut was amusing and full of promise. As a whole I’d highly recommend giving it a try.
