The Great New Wonderful

The Great New Wonderful is a 2005 American comedy-drama film written by Sam Catlin and directed by Danny Leiner.

It stars Naseeruddin Shah, Tony Shalhoub, Jim Gaffigan, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Olympia Dukakis, and tells the tales of several New Yorkers a year after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

The Great New Wonderful is a series of vignettes of incidents taking place concurrently around Manhattan.

The only other thing linking the incidents is the month in which they occur: September 2002.

The website's critical consensus reads, "Set in post-9/11 New York, this largely evocative dramedy interweaves the stories of five disconnected individuals who share an unspoken emotional malaise that shadows their attempts at returning to normal life.
