**Storyline:**
The film “Dating & New York” embraces a fairy-tale aesthetic, starting with classic credits that list actors alongside their character names, accompanied by dreamy pastel depictions of New York landmarks and the phrase “Once Upon a Time” on screen. Narrated by Jerry Ferrara of “Entourage” fame, the story humorously introduces two millennials grappling with the paradox of choice. However, describing their situation as “cursed” feels exaggerated, as the characters lack the depth to truly embody such a sentiment. Instead, the film seems to critique millennial dating culture, particularly the swipe-right mentality and the reluctance to commit—highlighted in a scene where choosing a single ice cream flavor becomes a metaphor for their indecisiveness.
Directed and written by Jonah Feingold in his feature debut, “Dating & New York” is a mixed bag. While the script delivers sharp wit and insightful observations, supported by engaging performances, the film struggles with underlying issues it never fully resolves.
The story centers on Wendy (Francesca Reale) and Milo (Jaboukie Young-White), who meet through a dating app called “Meet Cute.” Their initial encounter is far from a “meet cute” moment, but their self-consciously witty banter leads to a surprising bond when they agree to check their phones during their date. This connection grows strong enough for them to devise a “Best Friends with Benefits” contract, outlining their casual arrangement over coffee. While Milo is eager to find a romantic partner, Wendy prefers to keep her options open.
Parallel to their unconventional relationship, Milo’s best friend Hank (Brian Muller) and Wendy’s best friend Jessie (Catherine Cohen) experience a more traditional “meet cute” romance, adding a layer of contrast to the narrative. Milo and Wendy, however, overthink and overanalyze every aspect of their relationship, even as they share moments of passion—though the film leaves much of this to the viewer’s imagination.
“Dating & New York” offers a quirky, often humorous take on modern relationships, blending charm and wit with its exploration of love, friendship, and the challenges of navigating romance in the digital age.
