2019 * Not Rated * 1h 42m I had no idea what I was getting into when I started watching this movie. But I was pleasantly surprised. It's a story told in three chapters, about three different women--each one has a sad story to tell. As the title suggests, it takes place in New York City.
The first story is about. Amy (Amy Chang). She's a food critic and has to deal with an eating disorder, brought on by a breakup with an old flame. It's ironic because she simply can't keep food down. The second story deals with. Angel (Yi Liu). She's in a loveless marriage and the only pleasure she gets out of life is her time spent with a lover from China. The third story deals with Nina Celia Au), a young woman who makes a living as an escort. She hides this from her family. However, she has an ambitious boyfriend who owns a food truck but has ambitious plans to open up a restaurant with her and start a new life.
The stories converge at the end of the movie. I won't give away the endings to their stories, but they are a bit ambiguous. And let's just say, a pregnancy test is involved. I'm pretty sure I figured out what happened but I'm not positive. If you have any insight here, feel free to email me and let me know.
