So, 'My Dinner with Weegee' is one of those films that really immerses you in the gritty ambiance of post-war New York. It’s a documentary, but it feels more like a conversation that just happens to be captured. You’ve got Marty, who reflects on his past as a Catholic trade-union leader and peace activist. The way he recounts his friendship with Weegee and James Agee is both intimate and nostalgic, it gives you a sense of that era’s activism. The pacing is leisurely, allowing the viewer to soak in the stories and the atmosphere. You can almost feel the smoke-filled rooms and hear the clinking of glasses. It’s definitely not flashy but has a raw charm that makes it distinctive.
