A Rainy Day in New York

Parents need to know that A Rainy Day in New York is a Woody Allen romcom that shines a light on people's flaws and bad habits -- in a knowing, overtly cinematic way. There's infidelity among the characters -- including leads Gatsby (Timothée Chalamet) and Ashleigh (Elle Fanning) -- with various roles and relationships intertwining. No character is loyal to anybody else, and all the relationships depicted lack respect. That said, the movie does celebrate the notion of finding the right person and not settling for anything less. The movie's comforting, cinematic tone detracts from the severity of the characters' actions, and while main characters gamble, smoke both cigarettes and pot, and drink frequently, all of these vices are addressed and recognized for their destructive nature. There's no nudity, although a sexual encounter does lead to Ashleigh stripping down to her underwear. Expect occasional sex references, including a joke about oral sex and a discussion about sexual positions -- as well as use of the word "bulls--t." Note: The movie has struggled to find a U.S. distributor due to controversy surrounding Allen, although it is available in some countries, including the U.K.
