What to Know

Critics Consensus

Martin Scorsese's technical virtuosity and Liza Minelli's magnetic presence are on full display in New York, New York, although this ambitious musical's blend of swooning style and hard-bitten realism makes for a queasy mixture.

Jonathan E A must see for anyone that's into jazz. The music is great! Even the close-up scenes. DeNiro took saxophone lessons for 6 months before filming started. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/12/25 Full Review Niall M An interesting movie, fantastical and stylish which takes too much away from the central artistic relationship. Still worth a watch, especially for Scorcese fans. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/25 Full Review Dave S Awkwardly sandwiched between two of Martin Scorsese’s early classics (Taxi Driver, Raging Bull), one can find the enigmatic New York, New York, a baffling movie that is not without merit but ultimately falls flat. The film follows the volatile relationship between singer Francine (Liza Minelli) and saxophone player Jimmy (Robert De Niro) … and that’s about it as far as the story goes. To its benefit, it effectively captures the zeitgeist of post-WW2 New York, the music is great, Minelli’s voice is topnotch (as is her performance), and there are some great visuals. However, the dialogue is brutal at times, especially early on, and the relationship between the two leads could not be more unbelievable, especially in light of the fact that Jimmy is a volatile narcissist with no redeeming values. This could be Scorsese’s worst film. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/29/24 Full Review thiago s filme bacaninha, achei bacana o romance entre Liza Minnelli (Francine Evans) e o Robert De Niro (Jimmy Doyle) o filme ainda foca na carreira musical da francine evans, mas o filme não tem uma coisa boa nele para ser atrativo. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/02/24 Full Review Elvis D Después de su gran obra "Taxi Driver", Scorsese se dispuso a hacer esta película, logrando recrear varios aspectos de las comedias musicales que solían ser muy populares en los años 40. La cinematografía, el vestuario y la producción son impecables, haciendo que los escenarios luzcan como las películas clásicas orientadas a la música y la comedia. Se siente como si fuera una película hecha en los años 40. La banda sonora es bastante buena con ese aire de jazz clásico y fue en esta película donde se originó una de las canciones más populares de Frank Sinatra. Robert De Niro es todo un carismático y pícaro saxofonista cuya relación con Francine se divide entre su amor por ella o su carrera musical. Algo que incluso afecta a la misma Francine. Con un toque dramático, la película es incluso un vistazo a lo que yacía detrás de las estrellas musicales de su momento. La duración hace que la película llegue a ser algo difícil de ver de principio a fin, pero no cabe duda que New York, New York es un gran homenaje al mundo de las comedias musicales clásicas. Mi calificación final para esta película es un 8/10. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/25/23 Full Review Mark A Lots of good parts, but the whole thing doesn't come together. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/20/22 Full Review Read all reviews
