When a young man learns that his overbearing father is having an affair, he tries to stop it, only to be seduced by the older woman as well.

'The Only Living Boy in New York' delves into love, betrayal, and self-discovery in New York City. Jeff Bridges, Pierce Brosnan, and Kate Beckinsale deliver compelling performances. The cinematography and city portrayal are lauded. However, some find the plot and character development weak, with unconvincing relationships. Dialogue and pacing receive mixed reviews. It’s a character-driven drama with a strong cast, though its slow pace and complex narrative may not appeal to all.
