Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe filmmakers gave each actor a book that corresponded to the character they were playing. Kiersey Clemons received Patti Smith's Just Kids, Callum Turner got David Foster Wallace's Essay's on Tennis, Pierce Brosnan's was Stories from the New Yorker, The New Atlas of New York for Jeff Bridges, and finally Kate Beckinsale would be given a copy of Tolstoy's Anna Karenina.
- GoofsThe letter sent to Thomas by the Penguin Group at the end of the film has a typo in it: where it reads 'I with you every success with your book...' should actually be 'I wish you every success with your book'? Didn't expect that from the 'Penguin Group'.

Featured review
As a devoted Simon & Garfunkel fan, 'The Only Living Boy In New York' immediately piqued my interest, and it doesn't disappoint in its exploration of themes reminiscent of 'The Graduate.' Much like the classic film, it skillfully navigates the complex terrain of love, generational conflict, and infidelity. While there may not be as many Simon & Garfunkel songs in the soundtrack, the inclusion of their cover of Jackson C. Frank's 'Blues Run The Game' set the scene for a pleasant 90 minutes of viewing.
Callum Turner, Kate Beckinsale, Pierce Brosnan, and Jeff Bridges deliver outstanding performances in a movie with a strong script and well-developed characters.
The relationship between the young man Thomas, and his father's mistress, Johanna, is intriguing and adds a layer of complexity to the story.
This film can be aptly described as a black comedy, where humor is subtle and not in-your-face. It doesn't rely on laugh-out-loud lines but rather on its warmhearted and amusing portrayal of its characters and their predicaments. It captures the essence of New York City's charm and chaos, much like the iconic duo's music did in their time.
'The Only Living Boy In New York' is a heartfelt exploration of love, betrayal, and self-discovery set against the stunning backdrop of New York City. With subtle humor, compelling performances, and an intriguing storyline, this character-driven film well worth viewing for those who appreciate a well told humous tale.
