An oedipal update of The Graduate. To enjoy The Only Living Boy in New York, you have to look past the laboured structure and an enigmatic and affected main character.

Twentysomething Thomas (Callum Turner) doesn’t know what to do with his life. His scruffy, drunk neighbour (Jeff Bridges) is full of advice and nuggets of wisdom. Things become a total mess when he starts stalking his father’s (Pierce Brosnan) mistress (Kate Beckinsale), but at least he gets his desperately needed deflowering.
