Critic Reviews

  • Emanuel Levy, Variety

    Utterly banal, Joan Chen's tediously sappy romance is a kind of modern-day Love Story (a better film!) with a "twist": Richard Gere's suave lover is old enough to be Winona Ryder's father.

  • Christy Lemire, Associated Press

    Sappy and melodramatic.

  • James Berardinelli, ReelViews

    A workmanlike product that offers occasional, small moments of satisfaction, but, as a whole, is apt to leave audiences wondering why they should care.

  • Peter Rainer, New York Magazine

    [Chen] has a lovely sense of film rhythm and a sophisticated eye for luxe effects, but she fell into this vat of goo and there's no climbing out of it.

  • Lou Lumenick, New York Post

    Has no shortage of howlers and telegraphs its plot twists a mile away- but this ultra-glossy weepie turns out to be something of a guilty pleasure almost because of its extreme predictability.

    Pretty ordinary. I really didn't like Richard Gere's character in this at all, and when the inevitable happened at the end, I really didn't feel too sad about it either. Winona is okay, but overall it failed to move me.

  • Michael G


    This movie sucked but I got to look at Winona Ryder for a couple hours. So I don't care.

  • Leigh R


    Good love story.

  • Dann M


    Autumn in New York is a rather maudlin romance that tells an interesting story, but it focuses a little too much on symbolism and aesthetics. Richard Gere plays a New York playboy who gets more than he bargains for when he pursues a much younger woman who turns out to have a unique… More
