Pickpocket
Directed by Robert Bresson
Michel takes up pickpocketing on a lark and is arrested soon after. His mother dies shortly after his release, and despite the objections of his only friend, Jacques, and his mother's neighbor Jeanne, Michel teams up with a couple of petty thieves in order to improve his craft. With a police inspector keeping an eye on him, Michel also tries to get a straight job, but the temptation to steal is hard to resist. From TMDB

neutral · AI labelView post →Thoroughly enjoyed The Only Living Pickpocket in New York, absolutely charming movie. But it *and* the NY episode of Nobody Wants This both open with "NY I Love You, But You're Bringing Me Down." It's also prominently placed in the new Spider-Man movie. Moratorium on this sync for at least a decade
positive · AI labelView post →My review of THE ONLY LIVING PICKPOCKET IN NEW YORK is up at the Globe. I love this movie to pieces, and John Turturro is just fantastic here. It's to NYC what THE FRIENDS OF EDDIE COYLE is to Boston. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/10/28/a...

neutral · AI labelView post →THE ONLY LIVING PICKPOCKET IN NEW YORK: Noah Sagan knows his Bogdanovich. Like his previous film, Segwn’s made a movie with charm, swagger, and love for older things and times. He’s said his favorite movie is PAOER MOON and you can tell. Turturro s fantastic. Lovely, lovely movie.

neutral · AI labelView post →Went to a special pre-release shoeing it THE ONLY LIVING PICKPOCKET IN NEW YORK. John Turturro is always a gem. Solid film overall. Felt a little hokey in the last 15 min. But a worthy indie crime thriller for sure.
positive · AI labelView post →So the mystery screening movie I saw tonight was "The Only Living Pickpocket in New York". It's coming out on the 23rd. It was pretty good. It was neat to see John Turturro being the main character in a movie. #AMCScreenUnseen

positive · AI labelView post →Just got out of The Last Pickpocket movie. Fucking beautiful 70’s throwback with three actors I associate with my youth looking anything but young. Probably would’ve weeped a bit if The Wife wasn’t with me.

neutral · AI labelView post →"We're all born suckers." The Only Living Pickpocket in New York is the best grown-up movie at the cinema right now. Especially for fans of gritty 1970s-era NYC streets genre. Weirdly pro-transit. The only cars our hero gets into lead to trouble.
positive · AI labelView post →Criterion flash sale movies arrived today. Coincidentally I just finished reading Gary Indiana’s Rent Boy today and he also wrote an essay for Pickpocket that’s included with the movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →THE ONLY LIVING PICKPOCKET IN NEW YORK - REVIEW 👜👜👜½ Saw this tonight as a mystery ticket, and it's an alright movie. Has some bigger names, and the overall tone and setting is very smooth. The only negative thing is the movie itself is a bit slower paced for a thriller. #review #moviereview

neutral · AI labelView post →Words of praise for The Last Living Pickpocket in New York in which John Turturro gives one of his best performances. Opens in Seattle today. It's Noah Segan's second and most fully-realized film after Blood Relatives, a fun father-daughter vampire romp w a Yiddish twist. @seattlecritics.bsky.social
neutral · AI labelView post →THE ONLY LIVING PICKPOCKET IN NEW YORK: Just 82 minutes of a handful of the best actors on the planet absolutely cooking. A moving character study with just a hint of a heist film. Really liked this one. John Turturro is a lock for a Best Actor nomination, long overdue.
positive · AI labelView post →Only Living Pickpocket in New York ia an absolutely lovely film. I'm as hard a grader as you'll find on NYC crime movies and this one absolutely nails the human side of it. As good as Turturro has ever been. Well worth seeing

It's kind of a love letter to old New York while also being candid about the old days not being so good.
positive · AI labelView post →A lot of Buscemi coming to screens soon, with Wild Horse Nine, the Pickpocket movie, & Klara and the Sun

positive · AI labelView post →In theaters now is @noahsegan.bsky.social's latest film, THE ONLY LIVING PICKPOCKET IN NEW YORK. EoM Contributor @blakcinephile.bsky.social says, "... there is exciting, raw beauty that Segan and Turturro find in the hopelessness that makes Pickpocket such an original, unforgettable film."

positive · AI labelView post →Seeing movies in the theater in 2026 like it’s my job. #83 - The Only Living Pickpocket In New York This was pretty good. Felt like one of those 1970s love letter to NYC movies with occasional reminders that it was set in the present fun heist movie twists at the end good stuff
positive · AI labelView post →2026's "The Only Living Pickpocket in New York" is a surprisingly quiet and tender movie considering the theme of the film. While the plot has a couple eyeroll worthy moments, the acting is consistently strong and the movie brings the lesser trafficked parts of New York City to life. 7/10
positive · AI labelView post →Really enjoyed The Only Living Pickpocket in New York. Felt like a throwback to a street level ‘70s crime film without being a pastiche. Also so lovely seeing Turturro, Buscemi and Esposito playing off each other. Their actual history working together adds some warmth to the whole thing.
positive · AI labelView post →Two of my favorite performances of the year have centered around the last of a dying breed, and both parts were played by men called John: Malkovich in Wild Horse Nine, and Turturro in The Only Living Pickpocket in New York. www.austinchronicle.com/screens/film...
neutral · AI labelView post →And back from the Atlantic International Film Festival after watching The Only Living Pickpocket in New York, by and with John Turturro (among other actors). The movie was excellent, sweet and sad at the same time, with an great ending. Then a nice dinner date at Moxies to complete a great evening.
positive · AI labelView post →Atlantic International Film Festival, we're coming! Tonight's movie: Back in Black. Tomorrow night's: The Only Living Pickpocket in New York. Quite excited to be honest 🤩
neutral · AI labelView post →This was the only ad I needed for "The Only Living Pickpocket In New York". Turturro doesn't usually get leading roles unless he's directing, so this movie is already a rarity. Add Giancarlo Esposito and Tatiana Maslany to the supporting cast and it's something really special. #FilmSky #Movies
