Ben W @Username618 5d Yeah, so this was... WA making a film in the style of... a french director? Not yet Bergman, or was that Interiors? I'm sorry- it melts my head from the get go. It's not telling a story, it's a diary, wouldn't it be funny if's... Sorry. See more Elora L @RT10517516 Jun 8 A problematic film that will leave you wondering. But oh the dialogues... See more Blake- N @PBSAniDom Apr 22 There’s no denying that Manhattan is a beautifully shot, sharply written film with some of the most iconic black-and-white cinematography ever put on screen. The Gershwin score, the city itself, and the conversational rhythm give it a distinctive identity that’s hard to replicate. That said, it doesn’t quite reach S-tier status for me. The emotional core feels uneven, with relationships that often come across more self-indulgent than genuinely resonant. Some of the dialogue, while witty, leans more toward intellectual posing than real human depth. There’s also a detachment in the characters that keeps the film from fully landing its emotional weight. The film is still excellent—clearly a 9/10—but its tone and thematic distance prevent it from hitting that rare, flawless "all-time masterpiece" tier. It’s more of a stylish, intellectually engaging snapshot of a city and its people than a universally affecting drama.
