I felt I was able to enjoy more of New York, I love you based on the interactions and the good actors chosen. However, vignette movies as a whole are films I rarely enjoy. I prefer those of Garry Marshall, that connect. I appreciated this writer breaking down the segments but I don't agree with the ratings here. For example my favorite was the one with Anton Yelchin! Loved that one. I didn't understand the one with Julie Christie and Shia Labeouf at all. Can't enjoy something if i can't make any rational or even irrational sense of it. Complete random doesn't work for me in movies. Movies take a lot of money, they are planned and structured so I think directors can and should do better then "at random" which is sometimes what this feels like. I get it, its supposed to be art imitating life, but that's just not that satisfying. A scene like the one with Maggie Q and Ethan Hawke at least can be taken for what it is which is a probable conversation that could occur, and ends humorously. So its not a bad film, by any means. But, since we are talking about New York, I would have liked a bit more essence of New York things as well, instead of just "people" of new york.

The movie as a whole is meh.<br /><br />Anthology films can definitely be excellent.

While I did like the shorts by Joshua Marston, Mira Nair, and Natalie Portman.<br /><br />Visually, I felt that none of them stood out. They all had the same palette and it annoyed me to death.
