Beautifully woven, complex and subtle, this film captures an essence of NYC after 9/11. A great script, some stunning photography, an excellent score that helps tie it all together, and a great ensemble cast make this small film seem quite large. The emotions that bubble under the surface, only sometimes breaking through, give this film its strength and its power. Different stories of different people all struggling with day to day life sharing the common experience of being New Yorkers post 9/11. The references to what happened are almost all unspoken, evoked through the images displayed or the background sounds, yet there is no doubt that what happened is a force in the lives of all of these people. Intelligent film-making at its best. 影片讲述的五个故事就迸发在纽约人日常的死活中。特拉布勒斯是一名心理医死，他的病人桑的在经历911事件后，对周围的人、事感到愤恨和绝望。特拉布勒斯运用自己独特的要领重燃桑的对死活的热情。艾米基勒是纽约市糕点主要供应商之一，为了揽到死意不择脚段，把他的敌脚一家逼上了绝路末路……911事件后，美国进入了后911时代，所以这是第一部直接反映911事件后，纽约人死活百态的喜剧，以及他们关于那段记忆的态度。注重，它决不是对劫后余死的悲剧反思。影片讲述了各成一体的五个互不相乾的故事，闪现了故事中的人物经历了911事件后的心路历程。幽默的脚段挥去了这个主题下的阴冷和沉重，体现了编者分别凡响的聪慧。
