The Only Living Pickpocket in New York (2026)

Poster for The Only Living Pickpocket in New York (2026)
3.0 / 5

Described to me as a “Love letter to old New York”, it was exactly such. It was truly neat movie where everything about the way it was produced made it seem truly like an ode to the “classics”, whatever that may be. The soundtrack, lighting, camera work, all made it seem like a movie made 40 years ago, with much better camera quality.

Some of the sad seems felt forced and I had a hard time taking them seriously but I was engaged the whole movie even if at times I felt they could’ve built up the drama more.

I won’t watch this again. I probably won’t recall this movie again, but I’m glad I saw it.
