Where to Watch Six Degrees of Separation
- Charles LondonMarch 10, 2025As a Midwesterner, the idea of living in Manhatten has always fascinated me. I mean the notion of the haves and have-nots, the comfortable and the desperate, the protected and the vulnerable, the privileged and the disadvantaged, the doers and the dreamers, i.e., literally every walk-of-life from bum to billionaire, all existing in relative close proximity (sometimes stoop to curb), on an island no less, sounds so crazy but yet so magnetic. I would love to meet a real-life Ouisa Kittredge, who in the film, comes to realize the space that separates us can be as metaphorically slight as a Manhattan sidewalk where a well-meaning doorman can instantly connect us to a world that scares us, challenges us, and mirrors us. Stockard Channing and Will Smith are terrific as a Park Avenue socialite and a charming two-bit conman who cross lives and discover how similar the dissimilar can actually be.
