Editorial Reviews

Legendary filmmaker Wong Kar-Wai directs Jude Law, Natalie Portman, Rachel Weisz, and Norah Jones in his first English-language feature film -- a romantic road movie detailing the cross-country journey of a woman who sets off across the United States in hopes of mending her broken heart. Elizabeth (Jones) has just been through a particularly nasty breakup, and now she's ready to leave her friends and memories behind as she chases her dreams across the country. In order to support herself on her journey, Elizabeth picks up a series of waitress jobs along the way. As Elizabeth crosses paths with a series of lost souls whose yearnings are even greater than her own -- including a troubled cop (David Strathairn), his estranged wife (Rachel Weisz), and an embittered gambler (Natalie Portman) -- their emotional turmoil ultimately helps her gain a greater understanding of her own problems.

Not The Best Movie, But Not Bad Either.by Heavy_Metal_Sushi

Reader Rating:

August 17, 2009: Some of the movie was, well...kinda meh, and the movie itself was kind of B grade quality, but the actors did a good job, and the story was pretty good, so it is a movie at least worth seeing once. I went ahead and bought it, because I like the actors in it, and I have always kind of liked Norah Jones' music...and she didn't do too bad of a job in this. I would recommend that if you like romance/drama to go ahead and give it at least one watch.

Cinematic blueberry pieby JL_Garner

February 04, 2009: Wong Kar-Wai's "My Blueberry Nights" is the cinematic equivalent of the blueberry pie its protagonist, Elizabeth (Norah Jones), eats so much of: it's tasty and filling, but not a very substantial meal.

The performances are solid, and comprise an all-star cast -- Jude Law as Jeremy, the owner of the diner where Elizabeth goes to seek refuge from her emotional pain; David Strathairn and Rachel Weisz as (respectively) Arnie, an alcoholic cop, and Sue Lynne, his estranged wife; and Natalie Portman as Leslie, a top-notch poker player. The story is pretty straightforward, as Elizabeth goes cross-country to discover herself, and gains a better understanding of who she is as a person through her interactions with these other lost souls.

Unfortunately, Wong's arthouse direction and cinematography, with the recurring motifs of the elevated train roaring overhead and the time-lapsed loop of the ice cream melting into the blueberry pie, distance the viewer from the story and characters when you'd expect to be drawn in. It's hard to care much for any of these people or feel bad when they face their various tragedies, and it's a credit to the actors you feel anything at all.
