Twitter Capsule: I loved it. SO much. The writing, the performances. The feeling for New York's energies and defenses.

VOR:   I'm willing to hear arguments about the film's originality, and it's not the work of a major stylist. Still, consider how many movies attempt similar stories and characters and flop.
