What to Know

Critics Consensus

Its outstanding cast helps elevate a middling screenplay, but A Rainy Day in New York falls well short of Woody Allen's best efforts.

Tim Robey Daily Telegraph (UK) Even the basics here - changing your mind about love in the rain - feel mishandled, the insights fortune-cookie-ish. Rated: 2/5 Nov 26, 2020 Full Review Mick LaSalle San Francisco Chronicle Though the film has been shown in Europe since 2019, it's only now finding its way onto home video in the United States. I wish it were worth the wait. Rated: 1/4 Nov 10, 2020 Full Review Barry Hertz Globe and Mail A Rainy Day in New York arrives today like a desperate, frequently nauseating plea to Make America Woody Again... Rated: 1.5/4 Nov 10, 2020 Full Review Serena Seghedoni Loud and Clear Reviews ultimately leaves you with is a sense of nostalgic sadness. Nostalgia for the people we’d like to be, and the word we’d like to live in. Nostalgia for a world that doesn’t exist anymore. Nostalgia for a world that, perhaps, never really existed at all. Rated: 3/5 Oct 22, 2023 Full Review Dallas King Flick Feast This film is not memorable enough to rank highly in the back catalogue of Allen’s New York Stories. It is merely a moment that will be lost in time, like tears in A Rainy Day In New York. Rated: 2/5 Nov 12, 2022 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies Allen doesn’t have much new to say in this, his 48th movie. Yet there are times when the film pulsates with the same satisfying energy of Allen’s past work. Rated: 3/5 Aug 19, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Keith To see Timothee Chalamet play the piano and sing is worth the price of admission! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/21/20 Full Review Andrea D Gatsby Wells (Chalamet) is Holden Caufield in the flesh: pseudo-intellectual, in love with the sound of his own voice, melancholic, and full of romantic notions. His girlfriend, Ashleigh (Fanning) is unbearably both chipper and perpetually flummoxed from start to finish, like an overly caffeinated Anne of Green Gables. An aspiring journalist who finds herself the object of 3 famous mens desires is just completely unbelievable. Meanwhile, Gatsby mopes around NYC for the day and forges an accidental romance with a stiff-as-a-board Selina Gomez. Zero chemistry from her, in anything she does. The movie is clearly Woody Allen's take on Catcher in the Rye, and its poorly paced, overstuffed with famous faces, and drowning in its own perceived glory. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/25/24 Full Review Willian F Despite having an interesting cast, such as the performances of Timothée Chalamet and Selena Gomez, A Rainy Day in New York ends up losing itself in the lack of breath in its plot. The screenplay, unfortunately, doesn't follow the actors and falters in several parts, making the film dragged and tiring. The feeling is like being stuck in a big downpour, with the waters rising while the sewers of New York overflow. The romantic pace makes the story feel endless, and despite some good moments, it becomes hard to stay interested until the end. Even with characters that could be interesting and have 'good' dialogues, the film feels like a collage of underdeveloped scenes, bringing a lost and repetitive story. At one point or another, you even think the film will take off, but in the end, it ends up becoming a bland, emotionless experience that doesn’t justify the time investment. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 11/24/24 Full Review Joseph S This movie seems very out with modern youth. No 20 something makes a reference to grace kelly or want to see hamlet or when both of them check their watch for the time instead of their phone. 20 somethings making references to mice and men. It just seems like a vehicle to display pretentious knowledge of things from an aging socialite. Modern young New Yorkers are into street art graffiti, tech ventures, podcast. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/02/24 Full Review Juan M Not woody’s best work, however, there still a charm of nostalgia and empathy. A different way to see NYC. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/25/24 Full Review Alex C They won't let me post my true review. Wish I could say what I want to say about this movie, but I can't! The actors can't save it! Just don't watch it! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/04/24 Full Review Read all reviews
