Tilting heavily on a fairy-tale aesthetic, “matchmaking & ny” opens up with conventional credits (stars detailed alongside her figure names), New York landmarks rendered in dreamy pastels, and, literally, “Once Upon a Time” over the monitor. A narrator (Jerry Ferrara from “Entourage”) with an amused ironic voice starts the story, explaining “two millennials cursed together with the paradox of choice.” Thinking about the film overall, “cursed” is actually too strong a descriptor. No person sounds cursed in “relationship & New York.” No one keeps an adequate amount of an inner lifetime, first of all, to allow themselves feeling “cursed” about nothing. Possibly this really is supposed to be a comment on “millennials” (there’s a complete scene having to do with refusing to maximum you to ultimately one ice-cream taste), or about swipe-right form of “dating.” “relationship & ny,” from novice function director Jonah Feingold, who furthermore blogged the software, was a mixed case.
