The history depicts the final days of New York City's Florent diner, an all-night eatery that hosted a mix of A-list celebrities for 23 years.

David Sigal's documentary may not quite manage to canonize the diner, at least not to flyover country, but it sure makes it sound like a good meal and a great time.

Rated: 2.5/4

New York Daily News

When Julianne Moore enthuses about the fact that kids got crayons with their meals, you have to wonder if a short film might have suited this story better.

Rated: 2/5
