The Only Living Boy in New York (2017)

The Only Living Boy in New York: Directed by Marc Webb. With Callum Turner, Jeff Bridges, Kate Beckinsale, Pierce Brosnan. Adrift in New York City, a recent college graduate’s life is upended by his father’s mistress.

“Thomas Webb (Turner) is a spoiled rich millennial who is trying to figure out what to do with his life after college. While searching for life answers around mysterious neighbor (Bridges), he learns that his father (Brosnan) is cheating on his mother (Nixon) with his assistant (Beckinsale). u0026quot;The Only Living Boy in New Yorku0026quot; is a movie full of characters you would walk away from at a cocktail party, engaging in the flattest brand of smart banter imaginable. Turner is a very irritating person as Thomas, while filmu0026#39;s main draw should be Bridges. Heu0026#39;s a phenomenal actor, but his roles get too cliche, wasted and reduced to portraying a stereotypical cigar-toting old man who has a thing or two to tell the young ones. Brosnan is a surprising standout, his burst of anger and subsequent sadness during one pivotal scene conveying more years of back story in mere minutes. u0026quot;The Only Living Boy in New Yorku0026quot; have fantastic cast, looks good, but itu0026#39;s not particularly distinctive because it was playing safe in the end when It could be a little more daring and dangerous. In general, it is definitely an odd story with a twist, but I did enjoyed (most of) it. 7+/8- out of 10.”
