Avis à la une
Excellent movie! Touching, moving, romantic...I could go on with adjective after adjective. If you like unique quality movies in the Vampire Genre, that is skewed to Romance rather than violence, but with a great story behind it, then you will love this movie. The lead lady, although her spoken word is unlearned, her facial acting was spot on, and that is what is needed for this movie. And the leading man, well, he is great at capturing a Tortured artist. Not every movie has to be full of sex and violence to be good. Even though some reviewers seem to think it's mandatory. Also, the musical score is fitting and beautiful. This will not be everyone's cup of tea but it will move others!
The direction and writing are all over the place.
The vampire scenes are the worst. Why would a vampire dress up and a cocktail dress all the time and moving at a snails pace like some foolish runway model? It's embarrassing and corny! The sultriness makes you want to vomit. Secondly....why waste time watching her kill people? She's a vampire...duh we know that. If this was a romance without vampires is it necessary to follow the lead to her job everyday? No?
Great concept poor screenwriting.
Rewrite it and make it REAL!
Wtf with that doctors office??? Geesh!!! Sooo many added scenes that needed to be on editing room floor.

I've had this on my watch list for sometime and was surprised Not the violent type that is typical of vampire movies. Did not end like I thought it would and that's the only thing I found disappointing in the film. I would of made a different choice if I was that artist in that predicament.
Manhattan Undying: This story of a romance between a Vampire and a dying artist paints a lovely picture but doesn't totally please the palate. Luke Grimes is a jaded young artist who enjoys a hedonistic rock star life, not caring for his art, unable to find inspiration. He is brought back to reality by the discovery that he has terminal lung cancer, with weeks to live at most. He is determined to find the perfect model on which to base his masterpiece.
Sarah Roemer pays the equally jaded Vampire who is tiring of the continuous avocation of picking up men to drain them dry. She is perhaps getting a tad careless as the police start to link the deaths and suspect a serial killer is at work. This police subplot doesn't work too well as the cops veer between seeing Grimes (he attended the same depraved clubs as the victims) and Roemer as suspects.
Inevitably Sarah and Luke meet up, Sarah has never seen her likeness and wants Luke to paint it. Luke finally has a muse but will he live long enough to complete the portrait? A dark tale of doomed love reminiscent of Only Lovers Left Alive but not quite up to that standard. Directed by Babak Payami from a screenplay by Matt Deller this is an effective Vampire film. 7/10. On Netflix.
