All three films are in different ways concerned with how love affects their central characters, and all three are predictably stylish.

Whether it happened by chance or design, the sketches have more than just New York in common: all three have something to do with middle age, as well as with romantic relationships.

Two out of three ain't bad.

Matinee Magazine
Scorsese's story of artistic obsession is underdeveloped (and Coppola's segment is entirely unwatchable), but Allen's hilarious comedy about the looming forces of motherhood saves the day.

Touchstone has given three popular directors a chance to work with a shorter-than-feature-length piece.

Cinema em Cena
Vale como exercício para os cinéfilos.
