Sounds from a Town I Love (2001 TV Short) User Reviews

Not a film I loved, but one I liked

[Horst_In_Translation · 6/10 · 23 June 2017]

"Sounds from a Town I Love" is an American 3-minute short film from October 2001, so this is already over 15 years old and if you hear this month and year, then maybe you remember what happened a month earlier. This is a little tribute movie made by multiple Academy Award winner Woody Allen and he wrote as well as directed these 180 seconds, in which we see and hear several New Yorkers on the phone talking to friends, family etc. about what is going on in their lives right now or in the lives of their beloved ones. I personally thought that some of the segments were fairly interesting and entertaining, not all of them, but I liked the one about a couple that doesn't fit together because of how different they are or the talk about the future of a 3-year-old. It's all to be taken lightly honestly, there is no real drama or depth in here, but that's fine as there was enough drama the previous month. So yeah, Allen is known for his great tributes to cities too, like Midnight in Paris, and this one here is another success from him. Cannot deny I really love his approach to writing and movie-making. Enjoyable outcome we have here. Go see it, especially if you like Woody as much as I do.

Enjoyable, light Woody Allen short

This short played on one of the Support New York City telethons that took place shortly after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. It's an enjoyable little film involving many people saying funny things on their cell phones in New York. Not only is it funny, but it's Woody's first good film since "Everyone Says I Love You." Look fast for Tony Roberts.

A super cool homage to NY by the genius Woody Allen

Sounds from a Town I Love is an homage to New York by the genius Woody Allen. 3 minutes of funny lines and a superb cast: Tony Roberts, Marshall Brickman, Hazelle Goodman, Bebe Neuwirth, Celia Weston and more. No explosions or superheroes needed. Simple. funny, poetic, cool and amazing. Like all the art by Woody Allen.
