We'll Take Manhattan is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. We'll Take Manhattan earns its romantic beats rather than assuming them — a rarer quality than it sounds. We’ll Take Manhattan explores the explosive love affair between sixties supermodel Jean Shrimpton and photographer David Bailey. Focusing on a wild and unpredictable 1962 Vogue photo shoot in New York, the drama brings to life the story of two young people falling in love, misbehaving and inadvertently defining the style of the Sixties along the way. Karen Gillan and Aneurin Barnard lead a cast whose chemistry carries the emotional beats. We'll Take Manhattan came out in 2012. What makes We'll Take Manhattan work is that the leads feel like people first, a couple second. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

For anyone who wants romantic drama that respects their intelligence, We'll Take Manhattan is a strong recommendation. It has built its own audience without needing a direct comparison. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch from start to finish. Karen Gillan's performance makes the emotional stakes feel real, not manufactured. Worth watching alone or with someone who shares your taste.
