Vulnerabilities We All Face In Relationships, April 22 2004
This review is from: Sidewalks of New York (Widescreen) (DVD)
Edward Burns has made a very good film of the romantic comedy genre, about the complex lives of six New Yorker's whose lives intersect at some point during the movie. Filmed in a documentary style, one can't help but feel the spontaneity and good acting of the cast, made more intimate by the ambient New York setting. What I liked about the movie was the realism it depicted, and the vulnerablities and fears playing on the lives of people in relationships. This is the first movie of Edward Burns I have seen and I can't wait to see his other works of art. If you want to know more about relationships and the human condition, watch this film. Highly recommended.

Burns does it again., Jan 28 2004
This review is from: Sidewalks of New York (Widescreen) (DVD)
If it wasn't clear before, it is now: Edward Burns is one of the best writer-director-actors to come along in a long time. Somewhat like Woody Allen, (a writer/director/actor who makes most of his films in New York)although Burns' films ring truer, and are in my opinion funnier.
"Sidewalks" is, like his other films, an honest look at everyday people and this thing we call love. The film is humourous, touching, and insightful. Although, since the movie is shot in documentary style, it makes it seem even more like a slice of life. With on-street interviews, jarring camera work and jump-cuts, the movie has the look of a PBS piece. But that's a good thing.
The supporting cast is excellent, Rosario Dawson, Dennis Farina, Krumholz, Brittany Murphy (quite a lot of names for a small film) all nail their parts.
This film is a must-see for fans of Burns and just fans of good movies.
