Member Rating:  
Adrift in Manhattan, the third feature effort of Hispanic writer/director Alfredo de Villa (Washington Heights, Yellow), intercuts three intensely dramatic stories of life during a cold New York winter, each of which revolves around the concept (and thematic motif) of vision. In the first, an eye doctor grieving from a traumatic loss (Heather Graham) must reexamine her life and priorities; in the second, an artist of advanced age must contend with encroaching blindness -- thus losing the one of his five senses that represents his greatest asset; in the third, a photographer grapples with inner turmoil. De Villa brings these stories together for an unanticipated intersection on a Manhattan subway line, and watches as these individuals -- initially, complete strangers to one another -- help to guide each other through their struggles, pain, and angst. William Baldwin and Erika Michaels co-star. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

    This film follows the formula of various stories intertwined with one another. A little on the depressing side, the film is interesting for its realistic performances and character development. Heather Graham is outstanding as are all the other actors! So if you are looking for feelgood entertainment, you may want to skip this one. But, if you don't mind indie films with no set pace or ending, I would definitely put this on the top of the pile!!

    I found this movie to be slow moving at times, but very well made. It isn't brilliant but it is very good if you enjoy movies that intertwine peoples lives.

    "Adrift in Manhattan" reminded me a little bit of Babel, that is, if you took all of the intrigue out of Babel before you released it. It also had a feeling of "Six Degrees of Seperation" here. This will not keep you on the edge of your seat, but it just may keep you in it. The theme music throughout is such, that it is almost as important to your experience as what you are seeing. If you don't like the movie, it's at the very least worth the 90 minutes of music. Besides the film itself, you do at least get to see that William Baldwin seems to be the only Baldwin left, who is worth looking at. Aside from that, if you have nothing else to do, and don't mind drawing a lot of your own conclusions about the relationships, and where they will ultimitely end up, you have nothing to lose except an hour and a half.

    Yes   |   No
