Goodbye, New York

Goodbye, New York is a 1985 IsraeliAmerican comedydrama produced, directed and written by Amos Kollek, who also costars in his directorial debut.

Janet Maslin of The New York Times said the film possesses an easygoing charm that, among Israeli films, is rare, presenting witty impressions of Israeli life and the clash of cultures. Candace Russell of the South Florida SunSentinel likened Kolleks absurdist worldview and droll understatement to that of Woody Allen. While People thought the film likable and genial, the reviewers noted its uneven script and direction, and a sometimes contrived or just plain silly plot. Londons Time Out was more unequivocal, dismissing the thin and clichd material, its predictable plot and dismal propaganda about the values of kibbutz culture.
