Thirty-something Isabelle "Izzy" Grossman (Amy Irving) spends her time going from her tiny, solitary West Side apartment to that of her grandmother (Reizl Bozyk) on the Lower East Side. In between, Izzy builds a glowing reputation at the swank bookstore where she works. While her grandmother plots to find her a romantic match, Izzy is courted by a married, worldly author, Anton (Jeroen Krabbé), yet can't seem to shake the down-to-earth appeal of Sam (Peter Riegert), a pickle vendor.

Sheila Benson Los Angeles Times From its first romantic encounter, as two pairs of eyes lock across a crowded room, to its last tremulous one, Crossing Delancey is unqualified pleasure, bound on every side by love. May 16, 2023 Full Review Janet Maslin New York Times Miss Irving, who's in virtually every scene, gives Izzy a refreshing worldliness, a hint of disappointment and a hard-won wisdom that banish any trace of ingenuousness from the role. May 16, 2023 Full Review Carrie Rickey Philadelphia Inquirer Vulpine Riegert, a terrific under-player in such films as Local Hero and Animal House, is a phenomenon. It's in Riegert's careful modulations of tone, his knack for making understatements emphatic, that he gives dignity and intelligence to Sam. Rated: 3/4 May 16, 2023 Full Review Molly Haskell Vogue The implausible and the irresistible come joyfully together. May 16, 2023 Full Review Marshall Fine Journal News (Westchester, NY) Crossing Delancey is a small, unexpected treasure. It's a feel-good movie that lifts you up without insulting your intelligence or pandering to your soft side. Rated: 3.5/4 May 16, 2023 Full Review Dennis King Tulsa World Silver is a filmmaker with a wonderful capacity for creating fully realized characters on screen, characters that are worthy of an audience's affection. Rated: 3/4 May 16, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
