A Rainy Day in New York

Woody Allen's new film
A Rainy Day in New York

I love any characters who are neurotic as I can get at times. That is why anytime Woody Allen releases a new film, it’s a great day. Those familiar with his previous films like Annie Hall, Midnight in Paris, or Hannah and her Sisters, will not be disappointed with his new feature – A Rainy Day in New York.

Allen switches gear from his usual choice of actors by choosing a younger crowd including Timothée Chalamet (Lady Bird), and Selena Gomez (Spring Breakers). The story follows a young couple through a rainy weekend that illuminates their disparate views on the ideals of romance. Chalamet and Gomez, along with Jude Law and Liev Schreiber explore all the woes of societal expectations, artistic arguments, and boring people.

This movie is typical Woody Allen writing and film style. With that being said, if you are looking for something different from Allen, this is definitely not that movie. But as an auteur film, this movie has Woody written all over it.

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
