action
The now 39-year-old Xavier - father of two children together with Wendy, whom he met in the first part of the series - finds life very complicated. When Wendy leaves him and moves to New York, he can't stand the children growing up so far away from him. So he decides to follow them to New York. As in the past, this does not happen without reunions with old friends, including one or the other incident.
criticism
“The nice thing is that viewers won't expect anything from this film other than wallow in their own memories. And when it comes to the charming implementation of light romantic comedies, Klapisch and its leading actor Duris are pretty unbeatable - it is already their seventh collaboration. Therefore, this new variant of an old story is not annoying, but comes along nice and light-footed and not too exciting. "
“ Or New York is a thoroughly enjoyable reunion with familiar characters. In contrast to Richard Linklater's Before … long-term series, the relationship analysis is less important here than the free flood of feelings.
Klapisch's fundamentally likeable characters are alive and well even after twelve years and, especially in their fickleness, still feel very credible. The film insists on a sympathetic gaze that shows on the one hand the comic side of the unsteady life plans, but on the other hand also the efforts of the characters to live out feelings authentically and to react flexibly to new situations again and again. In this way, “Or New York” succeeds in portraying a cosmopolitan generation for whom globalization and the gliding between cultures have become a matter of course. "
"With all sorts of comical ideas (the long-dead philosophers Hegel and Schopenhauer rush to the aid of Xavier, who is looking for meaning!) And original creative means (the real film is interrupted by original animations), the film is heading towards its most amusing and full of joie de vivre climax.
With its great ensemble and the location that is always perfectly in the picture, "Or New York" is the ideal date movie for everyone who expects a little more from the cinema. "
“In all the chaos of emotions, life and relationships, Klapisch has mastered the art of straightforward, classic narration, but incorporating so many ideas, colors and cinematic games that“ New York, respectively ”is elegant, wise, witty and intelligent at the same time - and a portrait of how we deal with immigration and the cultural difference between America and Europe. "
"Cédric Klapisch's cliché-free, lively comedy is a nice farewell to these lovable characters who have really grown dear to us after three films."
“ Or New York is an impressive melancholy picture about the loss of lightness and about getting older, played outstandingly by Romain Duris, Audrey Tautou, Cécile de France or Kelly Reilly. - recommended. "
