Inspired by a New York Times column,
Modern Love reminds me of
Paris Je T'Aime in its varied stories of love in NYC. Carney himself opens by writing and directing the first three: a sweet story involving a protective doorman (that luggage trolley kept reminding me of
The Concierge) and a young girl, a dating app entrepreneur who's lost his one true love (and the journalist who's interviewing him revealing the same) and the moving story of a bi-polar girl. These are peopled by Cristin Milioti and Laurentiu Possa, Dev Patel and Catherine Keener (and Caitlin McGee and Andy Garcia) and Anne Hathaway (and Quincy Tyler Bernstine - and Judd Hirsch, in hilarious seventies style credits scene).
Sharon Horgan's story concerns a couple who aren't getting along well (Tina Fey and John Slattery) and Tom Hall's story relates a disastrous date that ends up in hospital (Sofia Boutella and John Gallagher Jr.) Tom co-wrote John's debut
November Afternoon in 1996, and co-directed
Park with him in 1999.
