Review of The Only Living Boy in New York

The way back stories are chronicled and the candid glimpse into the private lives of New Yorkers saw me checking whether this was directed by Woody Allen, it was not, however I have no doubt the director was inspired by him. The film delves into the many intricacies of relationships, the beauty that can be found, but also the sadness of always.wanting.more.

I found myself smiling at the some of the perversities explored and crying at the beautiful poetic sadness of love. At the heart of this is the whimsical nature of human beings, our search for more, and a reminder that everything is temporary.
