‘A Rainy Day in New York’ is a 2019 American romantic comedy film written and directed by Woody Allen, starring Timothée Chalamet, Elle Fanning, Selena Gomez, Jude Law, Diego Luna, and Liev Schreiber.
The film follows the romantic exploits of a young college student (Chalamet) on a weekend visit to his hometown of New York City, in hopes of deepening the relationship with his college girlfriend (Fanning) while she is in the city to interview a highly regarded independent film director (Schreiber).
The film was completed in 2018, but its distributor, Amazon Studios, halted its release following controversy regarding Allen and the Me Too movement. It was eventually released in the United States on October 9, 2020.
This is an enjoyable Woody Allen comedy with many laugh-out-loud moments. The cast play an assortment of great characters, the twists and turns in the story are highly amusing and New York in the rain looks nicely romantic. I watched a DVD copy of the film.
