The Only Living Boy in New York Ratings & Reviews
Austin Chronicle
Steve Davis
Having to endure these self-absorbed New Yorkers for 90 minutes is hardly worth this meh twist. All that navel-gazing, and so much lint.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
I still found plenty lurking inside The Only Boy in New York that I enjoyed there's no way I can dismiss it entirely.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
If this is New York's "Only Living Boy," the city's in more trouble than its characters are even aware.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Calvin Wilson
A stylish drama that assumes a reasonable amount of gray matter on the part of the viewer.
Seattle Times
William Robert Ferrer
"The Only Living Boy in New York" is not nearly as cute as it thinks it is.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
[Pierce] Brosnan is especially good: he's been chasing critical respect ever since he signed off as James Bond.
San Diego Reader
Scott Marks
The major culprit in the picture is screenwriter Allan Loeb (Here Comes the Boom, Collateral Beauty) a once and future Happy Madison gagman who wants nothing more than to be the next Woody Allen.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
No one is more irritating than the person eager to tell you that things aren't as good as they used to be - except for the person who wasn't around during that supposed golden age to begin with.
Boston Globe
Mark Feeney
Think of "Boy" as a Bridges highlight reel and Gotham travelogue, instead of precious coming-of-age story, and it's not half bad. But it isn't, so it is.
Entertainment Weekly
Joe McGovern
[A] twee, turgid drama set in an uptown fantasyland version of Manhattan.
RogerEbert.com
Glenn Kenny
Wants to be a short story by Cheever or Updike or Roth but can't help but being what it inescapably is, an impotent cry of 'Yes I Can Do Literary' from a screenwriter whose idea of literary has been permanently Hollywoodized.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Not even an A-list cast can turn this coming-of-age misfire-a total misreading of The Graduate from screenwriter Allan Loeb- into anything more than a losing battle against tin-eared dialogue.
NPR
Ella Taylor
If you liked Webb's enormously popular but, to this critic's mind, horribly pandering (500 Days) of Summer, you'll probably enjoy this too.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Everyone ... works hard to transcend the artifice, and they deserve better. So, for that matter, do Simon & Garfunkel.
Los Angeles Times
Glenn Whipp
"Only Living Boy" fails to convince as a character study, romance or love letter to the CBGB-era New York City.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
Round about the third act, "The Only Living Boy in New York" veers wildly off whatever course it had been on, leaving the realm of the improbable for the preposterous.
AV Club
Jesse Hassenger
Thomas' romantic tribulations amount to him whining in gussied-up language about getting friend-zoned, and his view of New York is tedious boilerplate about how the gentrified city has lost its soul.
Village Voice
Bilge Ebiri
The boy is but a shell; it's the men and women around him who truly come to life in this chaotic, awkward, and sporadically moving film.
IndieWire
David Ehrlich
The Only Living Boy in New York is a dumb male fantasy that's dead on arrival.
Slant Magazine
Derek Smith
The film's emotional resonance feels hollow, watered down by an overstuffed plot that bites off more than it can chew.
