Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.

SunnyHello Nice effects though.

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

hjt15 First of all, I'd like to start by saying that I'm a huge fan of a beautiful, arty movie that doesn't really go anywhere, it's just a statement on time or place or feeling and narrated mainly by it's own soundtrack. Which I think was the intention for this. Unfortunately it fell short and the delivery was pretentious and edited like a car commercial. I'd like to give kudos to the production design, costumes, make up and some of the camera work which provided a lovely backdrop and palate to some very grey acting. Sadly, this just wasn't for me. Poor performances from some usually stellar cast and I felt absolutely nothing for Norah Jones' performance or character. Saddens me to give a bad review as I can usually find something to enjoy out of any film you put in front of me but for the first time, I nearly didn't sit this one out. But Jude Law did look very bewitching in that beanie....

Michael Mendez How do I start this? It is my first time critiquing a film on-line and I felt I should start with this simple film by Wong Kar-Wai, whom I have seen many of his work. But I put that aside since this was a movie based in America. Most of his films take place in Asian, but ironically enough, his poetic dialogue still lurks among his first English- language project.Not much trivia on it other than the fact that it was the opening film in the 60th Cannes Film Festival. That and some other interesting bitties like that fact that the director (Wong) and lead actress (Norah Jones) both share a dislike in blueberry pies AND how Jeremy (Jude Law)'s character run a diner named "Klyuch", meaning "key" in Russian. One will come to realize that keys are actually looked at as a metaphor. Or so I believe. :)The story starts off with our beautiful protagonist, Elizabeth, who is just finding out from a diner manager, that her boyfriend is cheating on her. This causes her to give Jeremy (the diner manager) the spare keys that were for her. This is a common reoccurrence at the Kyluch diner. So much that there is even a fishbowl (I believe) filled with them. Each carrying their own separate story of heartbreak, including Jeremy himself who came to New York to start ANEW with a girl he fancied.There were three acts, in my opinion, in the story.The first act takes place in New York City with the relationship of Elizabeth and Jeremy spending time throughout the night. Not sensually but simply as friends, getting to know one another. The reason Lizzi keeps coming back is to see if her ex- boyfriend has come to get his keys.The second act, is barely about Elizabeth at all. I mean, the film is still from her point of view, but now, after she has left New York, she resides in Memphis, Tennessee, where she work two waiting jobs, a diner in the morning and a bar at night. The story focuses on a man named Arnie who we first see in the bar, alone, drinking till the place closes down. He is a regular around there and isn't rushed out. The pain and suffering in his eyes tell all that has happened him. He brings up how it is always his last night of drinking, but always comes back the next day. After a while he begins to warm up to Elizabeth who sympathizes for him and his heartbreak (obviously because we saw her go through the same exact thing in NY. Anyway, it is the conversation between him and our lead that really suck me in to this movie. He not only is a alcoholic in denial, but rather more of a kind soul who is just trying to forget. Forget what? His wife, played by the beautifully talented Rachel Weisz, who you will love to hate, seriously! :) It is never really determined whether he is still married or not, but the time does come when his old mistress come trotting in the bar, on his own turn, to go to the bathroom. Yeah right! You can see where this goes, but it is not about what happens. It is about what can never happen again. Some people fall in a hole and can't do nothing but keep digging and digging and digging. Bar fights. Conflicts. The usual. But worth the watch.Now we get to our third act, in which Elizabeth now makes her way to Arizona, a more open setting that will get you breathing easier after the tight city's we've been before. Here she encounter another interesting person. A woman, who owns herself, PLAYS POKER, perhaps for a living (?), gets in a sticky situation. This is Leslie, Natalie Portman's character. This act is not necessarily only about her conflict, but rather hers and Elizabeth's together, who helps her gambling away her money.----There is is my first review. But all in all, I would like to say that I find a lot of heart in this picture. Maybe it was something I was already looking for since I have seen almost all of Wong Kar-Wai's work. I believe if you are a person who can handle slow movies (knowing that it has MUCH to do about nothing and like it), knows a thing or two about loneliness and love-suffering, and basically if you want to dwell within the beautiful MIND of Wong Kar-Wai I would say THIS MOVIE IS FOR YOU. These were the kinda films I loved to watch when I was an alcoholic, but even though I am not anymore, it still tugs at my testies all the same.Last thing I would like to mention is the reason why these films are so astonishing are because of the fact that, one may see it as nothing going on, (No action. No crazy conflicts. No boobs.) and yet it has something to do about EVERYTHING. I give My Blueberry Nights a 4.5/5. And I hope you can all enjoy it as much as I have.

Gagandeep Singh A great romantic movie shot at night time entirely. The story is good, I just love Norah Jones, she is so pretty and Innocent. I have already watched this movie 7 times and can't get enough of it.There is everything love, sadness, pity, hate, dreams.Norah Jones walks into a restaurant, where she starts eating blueberry pie at the closing time of the restaurant. Then after some days she goes to some another diner in Memphis and to a bar at ni9ght , doing job of bartender and waitress. Then she goes to las Vegas, where she gets what she wanted. The ending is nice.Throughout whole the movie the music keeps you in the movie. Its all about love and dreams.

Imdbidia My Bluberry Nights tells the story of Elizabeth -played by Norah Jones- a girl with a broken heart who leaves NY for a journey of emotional healing around the States working in several night cafés and pubs and meeting different characters with which she gets involved. The story is told through the postcards and letters that she sends to a friend - played by Jude Law- the owner of her favorite cake café in NY. Most of the movie happens at night time.It is a very artistic film, in which the setting, the characters, the colors, the textures, and the music are precisely chosen to offer a classic portrait of the American night and characters. To me, it is recreation of the American night life that we see in all American classic films, revisited and revamped. An homage, if you want. An emotional ode to the American night. In fact, the characters of the movie remind us of those characters that we've seen in noir films of the 50s and 60s, but still they are played with conviction and portrayed with passion.The night is filmed with great style and feeling, and the music really helps the viewer to go inside and be part that magical and dangerous urban space of the night of any American city.Especially good in their acting, actually really great, are Rachel Weisz, David Strathairn and Natalie Portman in their respective roles. Jude Law is just OK in his role , although his role is not very demanding dramatically.The biggest flaw of the film is the presence of Norah Jones in it, a pretty face without expression, without any dramatic depth, and without any acting talent whatsoever. It is not her fault, as she shouldn't have been chosen for that role in the first place, just her beautiful music. Moreover, her character is not well developed in the script, therefore, Elizabeth is reduced to a linking role -despite she being the main role- and her miseries and failure are not explained or examined with depth at all.The film has poor reviews in general, but I loved it in spite of its flaws because of its stylish atmosphere, its emotional depiction of the American night life and underground characters, the wonderful music, and the performances of some of the actors. This movie has a special something to me.
