Autumn in New York Audience Reviews

GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Justina The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Caleb Whitney Because that's the only way you're going to feel like a man again after watching this shite. I may be damaged for life. Went to see it with this chick I met online. She really wanted to see it when they showed it at the Carriage House theatre and it was our first (and only) date. A short description of why it doesn't even deserve one star: The writing is sickening... seriously so bad I laughed out loud in the theater at some of the ridiculously stupid things the characters say in this film. Imagine the most cliché "love story" lines and now imagine worse and you still won't come close to comprehending how bad it was. t was even worse than I thought it would be. I thought it would just be incredibly boring but in truth it turned my stomach. I need medicine now. Had to excuse myself to use the restroom, went in there and splashed some water on my face (from the faucet, you sicko), went to my car and drove the eff out of there. By myself. Yep, ditched that stupid slag and she had to find her own way home. Didn't feel bad cuz she didn't know my real name. That's what internet dating is all about, am I right? But I digress. SPOILERS COMING NOWThe only good thing about the movie is Charlotte (Winona's character) dies at the end. I hated that sexy pig and wish she would have died sooner. It would have been awesome if the surgery had been successful and then Richard Gere had smothered Charlotte with a pillow in the recovery room. I wish when Richard Gere's character goes home after Charlotte croaked and he found the gift box with the hat, I wish he had stomped on it and said, "YOU PIG I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE DEAD!!!" Then kicked the hat against the wall, laughed maniacally, pulled out a handgun and shot himself in the head.Anyway, Winona Ryder is a sexy little monkey. They should have made Charlotte a shoplifter.Skip this one guys, and if your wife tries to make you watch it with her, file for divorce because if you watch it you will hate her for it and you'll hate yourself even more. I'll hate you both. I swear to all the filthy gods of my fathers I wouldn't watch this film agin for a billion dollars. If a fairy godmother came down from heaven and said, "If you watch 5 minutes of this film, I'll bring back your favorite dead relatives, all your dead pets, give you a billion dollars and cure hunger," I'd punch her in the mouth.I need a whore.
robert-259-28954 This movie is typical of one that has all the necessary ingredients for a hit... except the heart. Great cinematography, great cast, and the most beautiful New York scenes you would expect, but still it fails miserably. As the wonderful actor Joan Chen's first directorial debut, she did her best, albeit with the wrong project. As Shakespeare once said so long ago, "The play's the thing." In other words, without a great story, not matter how much money you throw at the project, it falls flat, and this writer is certainly no Shakespeare. When you combine cliché dialogue, with flat, unbelievable situations and poor character development, no amount of glamorous shots or pretty music can fill the chasm between fantasy and reality. And as much as I emotionally wanted to go along for the ride, alas, this film started out a romantic walk through Central Park, then slipped on the ice and fell flat on its face.
tolerford-1 Nor could they have cast anybody better than Elaine Stritch.Beautiful in every way -- the cinematography, the music, the patience of the direction. You could feel the ease Gere and Ryder felt. They were allowed their best selves. The portrayal was wholly believable. There was exquisite nuance and not an iota of artifice, not even one.This was an experience in true life portrayal; genuine, and somehow dug down to where we all really live, especially Gere's transformation, Ryder's delicacy in one particular scene, and Stritch's hallmark capacity for authenticity.The actor playing Gere's best friend was just as commendable, the actress playing the daughter, and the feel about the medical rush. I haven't checked yet who did the casting or cinematography or music or direction, but this movie is put together with world-class people.There is an element of deep reality throughout that rings true.
Amy Adler Will (Richard Gere) is a New York City restaurateur and ladies man, in his middle forties. His life's motto is definitely love 'em and leave 'em and have fun in between. So, when he meets Charlotte (Winona Ryder), a beautiful young lady half his age, he is surprised at how smitten he is with her. Wanting to make a connection, he hires her to make a hat for his date to a charity function. When she shows up at his apartment on the evening of the affair, he informs her that his date is sick. Would she, Charlotte, take her place? She agrees and they have a lovely evening together, one that lasts all night. Love is in the air, all right. But, Charlotte confides in Will that she has a dire medical condition, one that is threatening her life. What will their future hold? This is really a nice film for those who like to sigh and cry over a set of star-crossed lovers. Gere is great as the aging lothario and Ryder positively enchanting as the spunky and lovely young lady in his life. The rest of the cast members, including Anthony LaPaglia, Sherry Stringfield, and Elaine Stritch, are great. Then, too, the film is replete with lovely costumes, sets and scenery, making for a very beautiful watch. If you have a hankering for romances, even and especially ones that elicit tears, you should get this film without delay. On an autumn evening, with a fire blazing and mugs of hot chocolate on hand, you will feel very satisfied when the story is spent.
