Ryan Swen/孫天行/Sun Tien-hsing @swenryan.bsky.social · 8hTHE ONLY LIVING PICKPOCKET IN NEW YORK: Cozy in its aim to call back to an old-fashioned form of lowkey urban crime film, though Segan underlines his characters' struggle against forced obsolescence too frequently; only sometimes convincing but decent. 120
