From a story perspective, nothing happens in the film's 'last act,' but from an emotional perspective, everything happens. Minnelli's performance leaves its peak and soars. ...read the complete New York movie review at DVDLaser (Douglas Pratt)

V-J Day, 1945. The War was over and it was time to party. Into this reveille steps Jimmy Doyle, who has wasted no time in trading in his military fatigues for a sharp Hawaiian shirt. He is trying to pick up every girl he sees, but when he first meets ...read the complete New York movie review at MovieFreak.com (Dylan Grant)

In my opinion, New York New York is the most underrated of Scorsese's films. Coming after Taxi Driver, critics probably grew restless looking for more signs of a genius filmmaker that they thought Scorsese to be within this rather straightforward drama-ro ...read the complete New York movie review at Qwipster's Movie Reviews (Vince Leo)

If you look up this film on Wikipedia you find it is on several "100 Greatest Films" lists by several groups including Time magazine and various film groups. It is a tribute to all the great Hollywood musicals and noir films of the 1940s and 1950s and ...

In Martin Scorsese's much-maligned NEW YORK, NEW YORK, the hollow artifice of the 1940s Technicolor musical clashes with the brutal honesty of human emotion, in a story about a doomed relationship between two individuals whose mutual love for music draws ...

Martin Scorcese's NEW YORK, NEW YORK is a film that explores realism through a most unlikely medium--a homage to the movie musicals of the 1950s, particularly the more dark and dramatic musicals, such as Judy Garland's A STAR IS BORN and Doris Day's LOVE ...
by Gavin Jeffries on February 17, 2005
I've always loved this film. Uncompromising, grandly experimental, and maybe ahead of its time. With the new DVD, time has now caught up ...

By combining this hommage to, and critique of, stylized Hollywood musicals with 70's improvisational acting Scorsese achieves a near-ideal marriage of form and content. Those less comfortable with life's complexities may have trouble with this film, the ...
