Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Python Hyena Autumn in New York (2000): Dir: Joan Chen / Cast: Richard Gere, Winona Ryder, Elaine Stritch, Anthony LaPaglia, Vera Farmiga: Autumn represents death and Winona Ryder is the subject. She plays a young virgin with a complicated illness celebrating her birthday in the restaurant of a womanizer played by Richard Gere. Their first phone conversation consists of Gere telling Ryder to fashion a hat for his date, which just happens to be her. They get involved despite their age difference then he grows to really care about her and searches drastically for a surgeon to operate on her. Perhaps he should have searched for a screenwriter to render this depressing exercise a little easier to intake. Hardly uplifting and quite predictable with Ryder's fate being quite obvious. Director Joan Chen allows beautiful shots of New York. Gere succeeds as a man struggling to mend his brokenness by mending another. Ryder as a virgin just doesn't sell. What's worse is that she and Gere lack chemistry. Elaine Stritch as Ryder's grandmother does her best with a standard role. Anthony LaPaglia appears briefly as a surgeon. Vera Farmiga appears in a useless subplot as Gere's daughter whom he has actually never met. The whole movie needs a surgeon beginning with the screenplay. Insincere tear jerker disguised as a meaningful drama where the screenplay is as dead as autumn. Score: 3 ½ / 10

tieman64 "Autumn in New York" stars Richard Gere as a middle aged man who falls for the the considerably younger Charolette Fielding, played by Winona Ryder. Fielding's your typical free-spirited pixie, who just happens to be dying, a death which will teach Gere several lessons about love, loss and commitment.Whilst "Autumn" is a giant bag of clichés, Ryder's enchanting. Beautiful but fragile, and reminiscent of a young Audrey Hepburn, she single-handedly saves the film. "Autumn in New York" was the first major Hollywood film to be directed by a woman of Asian origin.7/10 - Worth one viewing.

venogesmali Well, I had very high expectations from this movie, because I like Geere, and in all the movies I've seen with him, he always did something to touch my heart. Rider is not one of my favorites, but anyway, I expected a lot more than what I've seen in this movie. First of all, the chemistry between the two is not there. You can feel they are just two actors with their roles and nothing more. Then the story is not necessarily old, but has no passion in it. Didn't touch me, didn't make me feel I am there, didn't squeeze any tear from me, as a similar movie did, "Sweet November", for example. The story line seems to be just without any salt or pepper. Like a child without imagination tells this to another child. There are no sparkles and most of all, it is so PREDICTABLE. I could say that each time she is having fun, she must get a heart crisis after this. It was TOO OBVIOUS. I like movies that keep me in the dark until the end, movies that are not predictable, movies that can make me feel there. This one didn't reach any of these things. I was disappointed by the story itself, the makeup, the intrigue, after all, I was disappointed by mostly anything. That's it.I recommend any of you, do not watch Sweet November BEFORE this movie, because otherwise Autumn in NY will seem like a silly low budget remake.1 out of 10 from me. And I rarely rate this low.

lux99999 Winona Ryder gives this movie the 50% it has -- her performance was nuanced and she hit almost exactly the right tone.But Richard Gere was badly miscast opposite her. This role required a total transformation of the spirit -- a goofy, pleasure-seeking arrested adolescent relentlessly stepping into the depths of grief as his life morphs from an endless party into a bleak disaster. Richard Gere's smooth, relaxed style was unable to carry the weight of this transformation, showing us little of the feelings that passed behind his blank facade.The direction and design missed tons of opportunities to make the visual tone and rhythm support the arc of the story. Instead of starting out with bright, busy colors and a noisy, bustling tone mirroring the playboy's lifestyle, progressing to lovely sunlit vistas in the flowering of the affair, then slowly fading to the stationary, monochromatic starkness of the lovers' fate, it struck the same atmosphere throughout of gentle mumbling amid browns and grays. The soundtrack of detached, sophisticated jazz ballads also did a bad job of conveying the story's wrenching emotional transformation.This wasn't the worst movie I've ever seen, but it had the potential to be so much more than it was, and its many errors distracted so much from the potential of its story that it ultimately held me back from enjoying it much. This would be an excellent candidate for a remake by a more ambitiously emotive team. There are plenty of young actresses who could do this role well. The trick would be finding a leading man who can match her performance.
