Good concept, poorly executed.

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

The cast was well-composed, consisting of talented new faces, the acting bravely filmed at close range, especially considering the (I'm sure) extremely restricted time allocated to make this film for $500,000. Some pans, cuts and single camera shots didn't work out, but the all-out intimacy of the close-ups paid off, and the acting made the movie.And yes although the picture does have a scenario similar to Richard Linklaters, New York Waiting is not as glib. Paradoxically by providing the viewer with little biographical background on the characters Sidney, Amy and Coreen, their longing and sometimes misdirected need came sharper into focus than "Before Sunrise", and was in its nakedness more akin to Michael Schaeffer's "Fall" (1997).Finally, an accolade for the original choices made in the soundtrack, which smoothly meshed with the film.

I saw this film at the Tribecca Film Festival. It was a great movie. None of the typical Hollywood clichés, or endings. It was thoughtful and beautifully shot. The flashback scenes in black and white were perfect. The soundtrack was phenomenal and i hope it get released as well. The acting was superb. The three leads were amazing. I especially liked the acting of Katrina Nelson! She is someone to watch out for. The director really loves NYC. The shots he used to portray the city were perfectly placed in the film. Even though the director is not from NYC, it really appears that he loves the city. I am a huge fan of movies that don't follow the typical Hollywood pattern, and this one did not follow the typical Hollywood pattern. I can't wait to see more from Hedem and the cast.

I love this film and I am hoping it gets a wide release. For anyone who loved Richard Linklater's Before Sunrise and Before Sunset, I highly recommend this film. If any of the cast and crew read this, I want to thank all of you. I'm an aspiring writer who has been in a funk lately, and this movie has brought me so much inspiration. This film has convinced me to finally go to film school and chase after my dreams.Writer/Director Joachim Hedén's script has a lot of strong dialog-driven scenes and the performances were great. Chris Stewart carried the lead role very well in a confident yet subtle performance. Annie Woods was utterly charming and adorable, while the seductive Katrina Nelson provided surprising depth to her character.The cinematography was amazing, highlighted by a very creative pool and rainstorm scene. The music was incredible, and I am dying to know some of the songs that were used, especially the ones in the trailer.My only disappointment was that I didn't get to meet any of the cast members. I wish everyone who was involved in the film all the luck in their future projects.

I just saw this at the Tribeca Film Festival. It was awful. I will elaborate but it was just awful in every way. The characters were shallow to the extreme. Found out nothing about them and could care less. It was interesting in the style of Bergman, ie. people talking little and lots of relationship stuff in Bergman style. Also interesting in that it tried to be the antiBergman-no despair, suicide, angst but love conquers all. (All this about Bergman because it is a Swedish film) The filmmaker was there for q and a and everybody was polite and did not criticize the movie but it was so sophomoric-could have been made by a high school film student except that high school relationships are more interesting. New York in the title but nothing about it was unique to New York. Polaroid camera cant take pics out of cars and you cannot get film for old, or new, Polaroid cameras any more. Sent an e-mail that was printed out but not read? The main character has a retarded emotional IQ.
