A New York Winters Tale

I really should stop reading reviews until I have been to see a film, having read quite a lot of pretty negative comments about A New York Winters Tale, I really didn't think it would be much good, but actually it's not as bad as those reviews made me think.

Starring Colin Farrell it tells the story of Peter Lake a thief in 1916 New York who falls in love with a dying girl. In a world full of Angels, Demons and Miracles he believes it is his destiny to save her, but perhaps not all is as it seems.

It is not a film without fault, Russell Crowe's Irish accent is terrible and it does get terribly confusing at times, but it is ultimately satisfying. The best thing in this film is Will Smith as Lucifer, who manages to steal the show despite only having limited screen time.

Confusing, with a couple of very strange plot points, but a story about love and miracles that is not as awful as it sounds 6/10
