Following in a long tradition of Hollywood May-December romances, AUTUMN IN NEW YORK is the story of a pair who finds love when each least expects it. Will Keane (Richard Gere) is...
more...a successful restaurant owner and bachelor playboy with more "girlfriends" than he knows what to do with but no serious relationships. He meets Charlotte (Winona Ryder), the daughter of an old flame, and is immediately interested in her. The two develop a casual love affair, but Charlotte has a hidden secret: a terminal heart condition. As the unlikely pair continues the relationship, they grow closer than either could have imagined, proving that love is rarely convenient or easy. While struggling with his feelings toward Charlotte, Will also has to deal with a mystery woman (Vera Farmiga) who holds a secret from his past, and his own sense of mortality as he gets older. AUTUMN IN NEW YORK is an old-fashioned melodramatic love story that makes up for its familiar plot with glossy movie-star performances from Gere and Ryder, plus lush cinematography and elegant direction from actress-turned-director Joan Chen, whose touch makes New York City romantic in a unique and understated way.

Boohoo take your tissues with you
Review of Autumn In New York (DVD) by janharper

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: same old story

Take your tissues with you if you must go to see this film. It ends up squeezing out every emotion you ever had, so you would probably be better off if you didn't go. This romantic drama is all about a love affair that happens in New York. Chef, Will Keane, played by Richard Gere, doesn't believe in forever. He just wants to sow his oats today and off he goes. Things change! He meets an attractive young designer called Charlotte (Winona Ryder). ... Read review

Bring your hanky and a gameboy
Review of Autumn In New York (DVD) by A_M_Benneter

Advantages: On a rainy day, you'll be sitting in a dry place in the theater
Disadvantages: Even Gere and Ryder fans can't possibly recommend this dreadful, shmaltzy flick

When MGM did announce that there weren't going to be any advance screenings of "Autumn In New York", rumors started spreading. Director Joan Chen's ("Xiu Xiu") second movie must be a dud. MGM's reasoning was that there are plot twists that needed protecting. I have to say that MGM has a point. I don't want to know the whole story before I go and see a movie, either. Hence, I won't tell you about that sacred plot twist. Is "Autumn In New York" as ... Read review

try and see something else or go to the pub
Review of Autumn In New York (DVD) by corman

Advantages: cinematography
Disadvantages: story, lack of chemistry between leads

I saw this 'tearjerker' on a flight coming back from New Zealand in February, and frankly I'd not given it a second thought since I saw an advert in the paper for it and thought 'my god, they've released it in the cinema?'. Frankly it's a straight to video, or straight to the TV to be honest. However, with heavyweights like Richard Gere and Winona Ryder playing the leads, what else can you expect. Even Elaine Strich thrown in for good measure who ... Read review

Modern version of love story
Review of Autumn In New York (DVD) by DIMITRIOS

Advantages: Romantic, interesting, you watch that film without having a breath
Disadvantages: Sad end

Summary of the film (some information used from the back of the DVD): Will Keane is the master of no-commitment seduction, until he meets Charlotte Fielding. Charlotte is half Will's age and twice his match; a free spirit experiencing the excitement of adult life for the first time. For Will, this was to be another quick and easy romance: but nothing about Will and Charlotte's encounters are quick and easy. Instead they are rife with intergenerational ... Read review
