Colin Quinn: The New York Story (2016)
Jittery
Great material but he is so wound up it's tough to watch.
As a native NY'r I agree with everything he said and laughed many times but this version of Colin is not enjoyable
Colin is an astute observer and accurate reporter of humans-he nails this topic .... I want every visitor to NY to watch this on the plane and hope they don't get scared off
This comedic set glorifies a bygone era - a city that can't exist again. ( When he gets to the Polish joke you'll understand- And that observance is gold. )
What makes us different and great is our distinct parts. But if we're not distinct anymore, who are we?

Pleasantly disturbing
Watched on a flight after the Oscars. Curious.
It starts slow, there are subtitles, but you are quickly adapted to the the films rhythym. I know nothing of this culture but it is a story of humans The loyalty and love we share in our family. Choices are made, levers tripped, situations develop...
Both families are endearing. There are some light and humorous scenes. There are also a few 'oh come on' risks akin to a sitcom, but that's how we get from there to 'holy crap what is happening here' so must take that leap with the director.
The cinematography is beautiful, the pace is good but you need to pay attention. the dialogue is all valuable-
When we get to the last third, it all comes together quickly. Enjoy the ride.
You haven't seen a film like this before
