Plot summary

Thirty-something Isabelle spends her time going from her tiny, solitary West Side apartment to that of her grandmother on the Lower East Side. While her grandmother plots to find her a romantic match, Isabelle is courted by a married, worldly author, Anton, yet can't seem to shake the down-to-earth appeal of Sam, a pickle vendor.

Movie Reviews

Reviewed by rabown 8 / 10

Warm understated movie with more substance than flash

A winning movie with wonderful contrasts, excellent cast, and a terrific soundtrack. Peter Riegert (who makes far too few movies) is great as an ordinary joe with more going for him than it first seems. Amy Irving is equally good as the "ambiguous" bookstore manager and maybe best of all is her grandmother who wants her to meet a nice jewish man. Delancey is a metaphor in a movie with quite a bit of subtlety without being pretentious.

Underrated movie

This movie strikes me, even after all this time, as being better than it was given credit for. The slow unfolding of the developing relationship is very well done, the characters are interesting and believable, and the grandma is fantastic. My only complaint - it would be really interesting to see how those two people handled an ongoing relationship. Talk about two worlds coming together -
