- Synopsis
- ”The Great New Wonderful” is populated by people you know: New Yorkers you see on the elevator, in the supermarket, at the gym. Without a trace of sentimentality, director Danny Leiner, a Brooklynnative, and his extraordinary cast paints five portraits of life in this city a year after the attacks of 9/11.
Five separate stories set in the aftermath of New York City’s omnipresent, but unmentioned, tragedy (september 11). From a boutique baker to a diplomat’s bodyguard, each character has a story that quietly resonates internal grief, confusion, and the struggle of moving on.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Tries way too hard to be clever and shrewd"
-
"Luminous, affecting, and at times humorous take on 9/11's aftermath."
-
"While the film rarely imparts a true sense of messy everyday feelings and the strife of real life, the fine actors take your mind off the shortcomings."
-
"'The Great New Wonderful' squanders a fine opportunity: to examine the emotional effect of the events of Sept. 11, 2001, on the lives of New Yorkers one year later."
-
"For an independent film, it is quite a rewarding big-time experience"
-
"Exhibits no trace of the random, goofy humor found in Leiner's first two directorial efforts."
