ultimately leaves you with is a sense of nostalgic sadness. Nostalgia for the people we’d like to be, and the word we’d like to live in. Nostalgia for a world that doesn’t exist anymore. Nostalgia for a world that, perhaps, never really existed at all.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 22, 2023

This film is not memorable enough to rank highly in the back catalogue of Allen’s New York Stories. It is merely a moment that will be lost in time, like tears in A Rainy Day In New York.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 12, 2022

Allen doesn’t have much new to say in this, his 48th movie. Yet there are times when the film pulsates with the same satisfying energy of Allen’s past work.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 19, 2022

It cant help but feel like Old Man Allen shaking his fist at kids today.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 17, 2022

Yet another example of Woody Allen's stratospheric obsolescence from anything that could be considered remotely zeitgeisty or vital.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 22, 2021

Ending on a bittersweet, optimistic note, [A Rainy Day in New York] marks a decidedly minor entry in Allen's infamously neurotic oeuvre, but should not be mistaken as inferior.

If this is the once-celebrated auteur's final, widely-released movie, it's not how anyone would wish to go out...

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 23, 2021

The infectious if clunky comedy is worth watching regardless of what you think of Allen.

| Original Score: 2.75/5 | Mar 11, 2021

Despite many of its assumptions and intentions, however, A Rainy Day in New York has a degree of feeling and a vigor that make an impact.

| Feb 10, 2021

"A Rainy Day in New York" is a witty, star-studded romantic comedy we would think was surprisingly good - if anyone else directed it.

| Feb 4, 2021

It may not rank among Allen's finest films, but it plays like a loving retrospective - no longer content to just play the hits, now he's exploring them in a new and intriguing key.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 10, 2020

A Rainy Day in New York fits squarely in [Allen's] lower-middle bracket: eyerolling contrivances, grimace-inducing caricatures, but more than a few cute zingers and occasionally even a touching insight or two.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 4, 2020

Even the basics here - changing your mind about love in the rain - feel mishandled, the insights fortune-cookie-ish.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 26, 2020

Fanning instantly delivers an endearing performance of a young woman trying her best to succeed in a world where her family is well known in very wealthy social circles.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 20, 2020

Only Timothée Chalamet could play a character named Gatsby Welles and make him entertaining.

| Original Score: 6.5/10 | Nov 20, 2020

Like a lot of Allen's recent movies, it's infused with a melancholy longing for a lost era that we know never existed in the first place, yet yearn for all the same. I like it more than I probably should.

| Nov 20, 2020

The leads skew younger than in any Allen effort to date, and the result is so bogus that the 84-year-old auteur might just as well have tried his hand at a Porky's reboot.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Nov 14, 2020

The only surprise of A Rainy Day in New York is Woody Allen's apparent disinterest in young people.

| Nov 13, 2020

Though the film has been shown in Europe since 2019, it's only now finding its way onto home video in the United States. I wish it were worth the wait.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Nov 10, 2020

A Rainy Day in New York arrives today like a desperate, frequently nauseating plea to Make America Woody Again...

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Nov 10, 2020
