In A New York Minute is a multilayered tale about freeing yourself from whatever holds you back, about breaking bad habits and outdated family traditions to give real love an honest opportunity, a fighting chance.

Rated: 7/10

In a New York Minute isn't the most interesting film it aims to be, but Ximan Li does enough to make us look out for her next work as capable storyteller.

Rated: 2.6/5

Joel Fisher

Battle Royale With Cheese

In a New York Minute feel more like an anthology rather than a cleverly woven drama and one which doesn’t make much of an impact.

Crooked Marquee

Li aims for Wong Kar-wai ethereal lyricism, and too often lands closer to soap opera, but the characters' lives remain worth following.

Rated: B-

Midwest Film Journal

Although it doesn't quite bring its threes stories together in a satisfying fashion, it's still a thoughtful and ambitious film.

Yeah, watch out for those expiring visa romance scams. Some people deserve something else instead of a visa renewal ... you figure out what that should be; thieves too
