New York, I love you but you’re bringin’ me down

Declare love to your metropolis, one short at a time. Of course Paris was first, with “Paris Je t’aime.” Next stop — New York, but with fewer directors and even less love.
Now, I know this was logically unsound, but I went into this movie hoping that eleven really awesome things would come together into an even-better-than-the-sum-of-its-parts, 103-minute thing. I thought this film would surely make me shrug in acceptance of the “it’s complicated” relationship mantra, sigh at life and well, love New York. I think that’s what they were going for, but, well — it’s complicated.

What a pretentious bunch of comments... Obviously the world is not good enough for you in general.

im glad someone is expecting more for the audience, so I can save my 12 bucks for better art. Settling for a world or a film that isn't good enough is just...sad--and is not the job of critics.
