Like too many art house films, this picture is slow, listless, and pointless. Even such excellent acting talent as Bill Nighy cannot save it. I've lived in New York City and it's a much happier place than depicted in this horribly depressing film. If you decide to watch this film, do so with a licensed therapist beside you, or put the number for the suicide hotline on speed dial, because this film will leave you feeling like there is nothing worth living for.
