Reviews

The lexicon of international film found that the film was "far removed from the esprit of its forerunner" and "conformed to the comedy taste of the US mainstream audience without exploring the prerequisites for a light-footed comedy comedy". The "[s] atirische [n] points on the New York art scene and the culture clash" would appear "dull", only a few "staging original details" would remain in the memory. Cinema judged: “The bizarre peculiarities of the Parisian relatives, their neurotic quirks and taste derailments not only upset the relationship between Mingus and Marion, but also demand a lot of tolerance from the audience. You just can't believe what you're seeing. It is ashamed of others. "Carsten Baumgardt summed up the film releases:" Julie Delpy's amusing screwball comedy '2 Tage New York' is not a joke like its predecessor '2 Tage Paris', it also lacks the originality and anarchic malice of the original. Nevertheless, the clash between French and American culture in this sequel is fast-paced and entertaining. "

Annette Walter said on kino-zeit.de : “You could consider a film that juggles with these clichés to be a little absurd. But in the case of 2 days in New York this is not the case . [...] Delpy stages her characters so unpretentiously far removed from any Hollywood glamor that one simply has to like the ensemble. You can even forgive the easy slapstick finale. "

Awards

Julie Delpy won the 2012 Women Film Critics Circle Award for Best Woman Storyteller . Chris Rock was nominated for the Black Reel Award in 2013 in the Best Actor category.

The German Film and Media Assessment (FBW) in Wiesbaden awarded the film the rating “valuable”.
