2 Days in New York

2 Days in New York (2012) is a Franco-American romantic comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Julie Delpy directed, co-wrote, and starred — a triple role she first tested in the earlier 2 Days in Paris. Here her character Marion has settled into a New York apartment with her new partner Mingus, played by Chris Rock, and things actually seem to be working.

Then her father, sister, and the sister's ex — Matthieu, played by Daniel Brühl — fly in from Paris, and the delicate peace evaporates fast. The guests operate on French social logic that baffles everyone around them; Mingus is polite until he isn't. Delpy mines the collision not for slapstick but for the particular discomfort of watching two families decide what they think of each other. Stream 2 Days in New York (2012) online on iFILM.
