The Only Living Pickpocket in New York (2026)

John Turturro delivers a beautifully understated performance in Noah Segan’s affectionate crime drama about aging, obsolescence, and survival in a rapidly changing metropolis. Turturro stars as Harry Lehman, a veteran pickpocket whose old-fashioned methods and personal code of conduct have become increasingly incompatible with a cashless, digitally connected world. When a seemingly routine theft entangles him with dangerous criminals, Harry must draw upon his dwindling resources and streetwise ingenuity to protect those closest to him. Featuring Steve Buscemi, Tatiana Maslany, and Jamie Lee Curtis, Segan’s film evokes the gritty tradition of 1970s New York crime cinema while tempering its suspense with melancholy humor and unexpected tenderness. Filmed across New York City’s diverse neighborhoods, the story explores the tensions between technological progress and traditional craftsmanship, finding poignancy in the struggle to preserve one’s identity amid relentless social and economic change. Both an engaging genre exercise and a compassionate character study, Segan’s film celebrates the resilience of those whom modern society threatens to leave behind.
