Soon after joining Netflix I went to a Netflix feature (if I remember rightly) that presented the Academy Award for Best Picture for each year there have been Academy Awards. This movie was on the list and was intriguing, though I put off seeing it.
It's a sweet, modest movie, somewhat simplistic as to its conflicts, structure, and dialogue, but mature and realistic in its concerns. Its simplistic aspects give a feeling akin to what arises when I see the sitcoms of my youth. Did the makers of such shows have so little confidence in their viewers' intelligence? An unglamorized New York City, mostly at night, in black and white, is a pleasure.
