Fran Lebowitz: Si c'était une ville...

Been feeling a little isolated and lonely. This show is fantastic. I could listen to Miss Lebowitz all day. I love her perspective on life. Lots of laughs

We tend to give so much weight for the younger generation to share their philosophies and views on life and, for some reason, this has become the mainstream (especially with the social media era). More and more, we are seeing a movement towards being politically correct, polarization, self-righteousness, obsession about health and wealth. At some point, you know what to expect and hear from everyone.

This documentary is everything but that. I never came across Fran before this documentary, however, here she comes with a completely different perspective on life, which is very relevant and important for the younger generation. You can't help but admire her wisdom, wittiness and raw views that speaks directly to your inner thoughts, and sometimes heart! This documentary has zero cliches and will grow on you (episode by episode) and keep you grounded.

This is my first IMDB review!

This series is mandatory viewing for all New Yorkers and strongly recommended for anyone else, whether you've visited, intend to visit, or wouldn't be caught dead here.

Fran Lebowitz and Martin Scorsese capture the feeling of the city from the 70s to the present perfectly. I've been here more or less the whole time and I just sat and marveled. Plus, one can't say enough about the editing, the music and the overall presentation of Fran Lebowitz's wit and wisdom. She's an unusual person and this is an unusual film, all in a good way. It's the perfect film for these times.

I love this woman! Fran Lebowitz's astute observations are just the dose of medicine my millennial generation needs. She's so sharp and so entertaining to watch. I also get a kick out of seeing Martin Scorsese double over in belly laughs. Lebowitz has the gift of delivering her commentary shrewdly, but with a light-hearted tone that leaves you feeling upbeat and joyful. Pretend It's A City is a terrific start to the weekend.

Amazing dynamic between Marty and Fran! And Fran is probably the funniest person I know. I have never been in New York and that didn't take anything away for me.
