Critics Consensus

Led by a fearless performance from Gerard Depardieu, Welcome to New York is director Abel Ferrara at his most repulsive -- and most compulsively watchable.

Few actors in the world are better suited to play a gluttonous pig than Gerard Depardieu, and I mean that in the best possible way one can make such an assertion. Go to Full Review Ben Sachs Chicago Reader 04/23/2015
3/4
[The] deliberate structure demonstrates Ferrara's artfulness, as does the lush imagery. Go to Full Review Michael Phillips Chicago Tribune 04/23/2015
3/4
The film, a sleek and oddly moving study in the cost of debauchery, has its gleeful excesses. Go to Full Review D.M. Palmer Vague Visages 11/09/2023
Ferrara articulates that this is a New York he no longer recognizes; it has to be viewed from afar now, it is invested with a spirit he no longer comprehends. Nevertheless, Devereaux’s downfall must be witnessed in all its unseemly detail... Go to Full Review Dan Brightmore NME (New Musical Express) 06/16/2021
Gerard Depardieu is odious but compelling in Abel Ferrara's dark tale... Go to Full Review Daniel Barnes Dare Daniel 03/25/2020
4/5
The contrast between Ferrara's seething hot rage and the cold, clean gloom of his images remains compelling throughout. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

07/12/2017 Abel Ferrara ("Bad Lieutenant") es un director salvaje que busca incomodar al espectador. Y lo logra de una manera brutal con "Welcome To New York", una perturbadora obra maestra basada en hechos reales acerca del sexo, el poder y la riqueza. "Welcome to New York" nos cuenta la historia del Sr. Deveraux, un diplomático francés y director del Banco Mundial, quien vive impulsado por el deseo de devorarse al mundo. El Sr. Deveraux vive en un mundo de derroche, orgías y consumo de sustancias psicoactivas. Cuando intenta violar a la mucama de un hotel, el Sr. Derevaux se ve envuelto en un escándalo que lo afectará tanto a él como a su esposa Simone. Gérard Depardieu interpreta al Sr. Deveraux como un elefante hedonista y monstruoso que gruñe, sisea y solo piensa en su propio placer. Jacqueline Bisset interpreta a Simone como una esposa/madre, que limpia la suciedad dejada por su esposo/hijo. En este recuento lleno de sexo y sin concesiones, Ferrara logra mostrarnos cómo el dinero corrompe y cómo nadie en realidad quiere ser salvado.
