What to Know

Critics Consensus

Although the film isn't as bad as feared (it wasn't pre-screened for reviews), it's not that good, either. Most noticable flaws are the sappy romantic cliches and lack of chemistry between Gere and Ryder.

Richard Gere’s phoniest acting tic has to be the way that he tosses back his head and laughs, in ”spontaneous” delight, at his romantic costar. Go to Full Review Emanuel Levy Variety 07/21/2007

Utterly banal, Joan Chen's tediously sappy romance is a kind of modern-day Love Story (a better film!) with a "twist": Richard Gere's suave lover is old enough to be Winona Ryder's father. Go to Full Review Tim Cogshell Boxoffice Magazine 06/05/2002

Melodrama is bad enough, contrived melodrama is worse, and badly written contrived melodrama is Autumn in New York. Go to Full Review Jae-Ha Kim Jae-Ha Kim 07/27/2023

"Autumn in New York" is made to tug at our heartstrings. But with its rote story line, the film proves to be little more than pretty eye candy in the form of stars Richard Gere and Winona Ryder. Go to Full Review Mark Steyn The Spectator 02/02/2018

Monty G @Montyginger Jan 1 Winona Ryder is always a pleasure to watch and this movie is visually stunning. I also cried at the end. And also when Charlotte said to her grandmother, "because I’m your family, you’re supposed to take care of me." God! It was so hunting. See more 2000's Barbie T @Thedoll May 16 The cinematography is stunning, the atmosphere is dreamy and elegant, and Winona gives one of her most tender, heartbreaking performances. That fragility, that soft defiance — it’s pure magic. The film feels like a poem in motion. Who cares if it’s melodramatic? That’s the point. It’s about fleeting love, mortality, and beauty. And the soundtrack? Devastating in the best way. See more Kathryn V @RT32297663 02/02/2025 Dissapointed in Gere doing this movie, some of the scenes and huge age gap. The movie just didn't work at all. Tacky bad movie. See more Kirsten W @kirght 03/22/2024 There are a few moments that I love in this movie. See more babarizam @RT59932316 01/28/2024 There were many wrong things about this movie 1- script 2- acting 3-delivery See more Blu B @RT43513976 01/24/2024 So it's like a Terms of Endearment and Harold & Maude hybrid....just not as good as those. Boring genric music and everything else about it subpar. It goes from creepy/awkward with the relationship to just flat out boring in the middle to just ok at the end. Ryder & Gere are passable but don't really have any chemistry together. None of the characters are that likeable, it feels like its' trying to tug on heartstrings, and feels like there isn't really any clear story between the two of them and mostly focuses on Gere being a jerk. But he's never likeable like say High Infidelity, he just keeps making dick moves with no real explanation why. It feels so forced how they get together out of nowhere and how she's not creeped out at all. Also, Ryder doesn't look sick at all so it's hard to believe she's terminally ill when she looks peak and fit 99% of the time. The middle gets so boring focusing o him sleeping with his ex and drags adding nothing and I have no idea why she'd get back with him after that. Honestly, even if your a big fan of any actors in this, skip it anyway. See more Read all reviews
