CGiii Comment

John Malkovich was one of the producers behind this - kudos to him.

BUT...there is too much arguing among the characters to make this bearable. Rapid onset headache...

It's non-linear and a little clumsy in places but Taylor has a good eye and he certainly knows how to put a film together - it's just the script that is so dreary.

Ultimately, it fails to capture and retain your attention.

The(ir) Blurb...

When a marriage of convenience becomes the real thing, Joe moves his pregnant French wife to a tenement building on New York's Lower East Side. The street is like a war zone with none of the nostalgic appeal that Joe remembers from tales of his immigrant grandparents arriving in the same neighborhood with a new life. This is the urban frontier filled with comic mixture of gentrifies, homeboys, dealers and local residents simply bent on staying a float.
