Director and cast
Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
The casting problem starts with the movie's lead, Norah Jones.
It's not the pie that is meant to make this watchable, it is Wai's greatest gift, observing people, little slices of life in New York, Memphis or Nevada. Unfortunately in this case, those slices don't add up to a meal, or even dessert.
Fans of Chinese director Wong Kar Wai's dreamy, romantic films will find My Blueberry Nights a luscious treat, although newcomers to his world of sensuous longing will no doubt wonder what all the fuss is about.
The bad news about My Blueberry Nights is that it feels like an exaggeration to call it an actual movie.
