Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Brilliant and touching

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

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....

Quoting one of the greatest modern films, any time of the day is a good time for pie. Blueberry Pie. The Hong-Kong auteur Wong Kar-Way certainly thought so having made his first English language movie with the popular American desert playing an important role. My Blueberry Nights is a very beautiful, visually instantly recognizable Wong Kar-Way's picture even though his usual collaborator Christopher Doyle did not shoot it. Instead, Darius Khondji provided lush cinematography with lots of night shots and neon lights. The soundtrack is wonderful which is no surprise at all. Kar-Way was very impressed by the singer/songwriter's Norah Jones work and his idea was to make a movie around her voice, her songs and the mood that they create. He says that there is something exciting about her voice. It could be the blend of sensuality, melancholic longing, hidden passion, depth and obvious class that might have attracted the celebrated master of the modern romantic film. My Blueberry Nights is also a travelogue and the contribution of the Hong-Kong director to the American cinema. By his own words, he chose to make his American debut the road movie to learn more about America and to get to know her better.The three stories of love lost, as the song in soundtrack confirms, have been told before. The main story concerns Elizabeth (Jones) who got dumped by her boyfriend and leaves the big city to get far away and to reinvent herself. She befriends Jeremy, the owner of the diner named "Klyuch", which means "the" key in Russian. He keeps the big jar on the counter where his customers would drop the keys for the ones they love to come back and start all over. Elizabeth's journey would bring her to Memphis, Tennessee, where she encounters the guy so crazy about his wife he could not let her go. Later, in Nevada, Elizabeth meets the gambler girl who longs to re-unite with her estranged father. The problem is not in the stories, anything but new, rather, in the simplistic, uneven and abrupt way they are told. In one of the scenes, Elizabeth says that sometimes things look better on the paper. Maybe it is the case with the film. There's nothing wrong with Wong Kar-Way's movie equivalent of Blueberry Pie. It's just... overly sweet and sadly, the impressive cast has not much to play. Perhaps, that's why the female characters in the movie were so forgettable even if played by Rachel Weitz entering the bar in slow motion and Natalie Portman in oversize sunglasses leaning against convertible. And with all due respect to Norah's talent as a musician, her acting debut was not memorable. On the other hand, David Strathairn's performance was impressive in spite of the short appearance and Jude Law was very likable as Jeremy. And there were Norah Jones' songs and the vistas of America the Beautiful as seen through the eyes of the most romantic modern filmmaker in his English language debut which is pleasant, good looking but simple, even silly and lightweight movie. It is very much akin to a first impression of the foreign tourist armed with all sorts of clichés who just started to explore the never seen before country.

I have always preferred a small film with great lines, and bravura performances. I guess it's why I prefer old films from the 30's and 40's. The script is more important than the now popular special effect movies that are touted by the critics nowadays. This film is like a vintage one. I've watched it twice, and wondered why I hadn't heard about it before. The acting of all the actors were right on target. Standout performances were of Rachel Weisz and David Straithorn. Natalie Portman's performance was excellent as usual and Nora Jones was surprisingly effective for a first time film. I would have liked to see more of Jude Law's life, which is why I only scored it a 9, but what was shown was enough to get his basic character. He was wonderful. A nice movie to watch in the early morning. It starts my day with a positive note. Watch it, you'll love it.

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.
