Moviegoers are saying
Reviewers pitch this as a wily, weary John Turturro caper through New York, with a funky jazz score, on-location grit, and a family-drama undercurrent. Critics called it "a little sweet boomer gem" and compared it to "Uncut Gems if it were a cozy fall love letter to New York," though several numeric scores (3.5 to 5 out of 10) sit well below the glowing write-ups. Its charm comes from being charmingly naive and endearingly out of step with the times.

A wily but weary John Turturro running around New York trying to escape a heist jam, with a sprinkle of family drama, all set to a funky jazz score? Shot on location and looks good to boot? Exactly my jam. Also shoutout to Will Price for playing one of the more punchable…

EdgarOct 25, 2026A little sweet boomer gem. A nostalgic tale of a man who no longer recognize themselves, the city he live in or the times he lives through. Finally, a movie about a man who does bad things, a flawed man who gets to be the protagonist without the movie needing to condemn…

More than the heist, I loved this bittersweet love letter to New York, centred on an aging, regretful man struggling to keep up with a changing world. The jazz score and borough-hopping charm were a highlight for sure. Predictable twists, but that's besides the point.
Dan Solomon lovedThe Only Living Pickpocket in New YorkLeon the Professional meets Uncut Gems and a little bit of The Warriors just because of all the subway scenes. This will go down as an iconic NYC set movie.
Elisabeth Kormanova lovedThe Only Living Pickpocket in New York⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ hooodně woody allen movie type beat co má docela jednoduchej příbh ale jinak technicky a herecky je to krásný. Dialogy moc silný stejně jako myšlenka. Hrozne dojemný a krasný

Such a bittersweet crime thriller. Captures the exact essence of New York City. The coloring of this film also really caught my eye. Like a tribute to a changing city. 7.5

John Turturro, Steve Buscemi, and Giancarlo Esposito all bring a weary soulfulness to the film, helping it cultivate a melancholy tone without tipping into sentimentality.

This wistful story is best when it leans on these people being people: hurt, broken, and imperfect. Turturro shines, offering a performance that not only gives justice to this honorable character—but also proves that he’s among the last of a certain type of professional actor, a performer capable of giving every part of himself over no matter the size of the role or the genre, place, or time in which it occurs.
