PLACEHOLDER: The Only Living Pickpocket in New York

This is one that we did not get to see at the Montclair Film Festival but those who did thought the movie was great and Turturro was "lovely" in the Q&A that followed that we missed:( Rated 98% on Rotten Tomatoes and 7.3/10 on IMDb.

The Only Living Pickpocket in New York is a 2026 American crime thriller film written and directed by Noah Segan. It stars John Turturro, Giancarlo Esposito, Will Price, Tatiana Maslany, and Steve Buscemi.

SYNOPSIS:
Harry Lehman (John Turturro) is an aging pickpocket who plies his trade with ever-diminishing returns in a drastically changed New York. Wallets stuffed with cash have been replaced by easily canceled credit cards, and Harry struggles to make ends meet as he cares for his disabled wife, Rosie. When he unwittingly purloins and fences a valuable USB stick, Harry finds himself in a race against time to return the loot or face the rage of a vengeful crime family.

RUN TIME: 1 hr 28 minutes

OUR NO SHOW POLICY:
If you RSVP and your plans then change, we ask that you notify us and change your RSVP as soon as possible - definitely before the start of the event. It's unfair for the group to wait around after the film for people who do not show up. And it fouls up reservations made at the restaurants we visit. NO SHOWS WILL NOW BE WARNED ONCE AND REMOVED FROM THE GROUP AFTER THE SECOND OCCURRENCE. We keep a list of no-shows - please change your RSVP prior to the start of the event so you don't end up on it! Thank you for your consideration.
