Two old New Yorkers realize they are a threatened species and the city they knew has gone away.

Ed Koch

The Atlantic

I thought the dialogue between the parties was inadequate, the script preposterous, and the attempt to visually capture the uniqueness of New York City a failure.

Wang's geriatric bromance isn't so much a love letter to New York as it is Grumpy Old Mensches.

Rated: 1.5/4

Guided by photographer-turned-director Harvey Wang's keen eye for Manhattan's fast-disappearing landscape of dive bars, diners, and bodegas "The Last New Yorker" is delightful chamber piece of romantic comedy.

Rated: B

Avi Offer

NYC Movie Guru

A sweet, charming and warm romantic drama that suffers from being lazy, inorganic and seriously lacking in character development. The only scene-stealing, lively character is actually the city of New York itself.

Rated: 5.25/10

NewsBlaze

A measured, minimalist masterpiece which is mostly a sweet homage to such rapidly disappearing Manhattan trademarks of yore as the neighborhood bar and the corner diner.

Rated: 4/4

I don't know why I thought it was a documentary; if only. Great locations, charming cast, terrible, undignified script.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars
