I was in class 1 when I first fell in love with a sweet damsel in my class. She used to sit two rows ahead of me in a class divided on lines of Indo-Pak border. Her hazel eyes and sweetest smile made me crazy about her. She changed her school that very year and I am still trying to search her over social networks. Yes… I too had a love story… and maybe that’s the very reason I was able to connect with Gabe and his childish love for Rosemary.
Little Manhattan is a sweet love story of an eleven year old kid Gabe, who fell in love with a beautiful girl Rosemary. Gabe’s parents are on verge of separation and life thus is not great for him. His only solace is the fact that he loves Rosemary and the dopamine keeps him up. But that’s no utopia. He feels that she is drifting far from him. He discusses this with his father and his father says that the reason he and Gabe’s mother is not in an amiable situation is that they left many things unsaid.
Gabe opens up. Rosemary says that lets the time take its own course. Till then they can be good friends… Gabe’s father reconciles with his wife and things are getting into shape. Gabe remarks that he won’t forget his first love…
Wow, quite a tale. Well, to believe that as a movie with child actors, you will actually have to watch it. Direction, music and cinematography aides the near-perfect story and lovely performances. Seriously, watch it to believe it…

Well said, 'A must watch' The scene when the young couple sets out too search for an apartment for the parents on a tricycle & gal holds on to our Hero for support, you can simply associate to his smile. The other when he cries out loud with her pic in his hand sitting on a toilet seat is very touching.
But Sujoy, I expected better detailing of Muv & situations, the film deserves it. Believe me frnz, Muv is awesome though review isnt.
