“NYWIFT member Fredgy Noël is a multi-hyphenate filmmaker whose work weaves lyrical visuals with raw emotional honesty, and her latest short film, New York Day Women, is no exception.”

—  New York Women in Film and Television, 2025

“Noël’s adaptation of the story contains romanticism for the city of New York and a touching dedication to the cultural power of generational women.”
— Cinema Femme, 2025 

“As the director, writer, producer, and editor, Noël brings her unique perspective—shaped by her Haitian roots, background in dance, and years of experience across major media networks—to a story that explores the quiet revelations between mothers and daughters.”
— New York Women in Film and Television, 2025 

“Fredgy Noël’s New York Day Women is as much of a love letter to the city it takes place in as it is to the women who inhabit these streets.”
— Beyond the Cinerama Dome, 2025 

“Noël also crafts a brilliant screenplay, full of moments undoubtedly inspired by her interactions with her mother. Playing into a series of vignettes allows her to explore unique aspects of their family history.”
— Sunshine State Cineplex, 2025 

“In adapting Edwidge Danticat’s short story for the screen, Noël subverts the nostalgia-tinged narration you might hear in “Manhattan” or “Sex and the City” to have multiple meanings as Suzette wistfully recalls the mother she grew up with, hand-plucking chicken for dinner and putting curls in her hair.”
— The Moveable Fest, 2025

“New York Day Women gets an 8.5 out of 10. The beautiful thing about shorts is that you can absorb everything a film has to give in a matter of minutes.”
— The Peach Review, 2025 

“Directed by Fredgy Noël, New York Day Women provides a comedic, but honest, portrayal of this phenomenon in play.”
— Sunshine State Cineplex, 2025 

“The short feels like a love letter to women. The beautiful scenery and soothing soundtrack cater to the appreciation and gratitude the story conveys. To sacrifice one’s dreams for the sake of another is a level of love and surrender that speaks to the deepest commitment of the heart.”
— The Peach Review, 2025

“It’s likely “New York Day Women” will have the same effect on audiences from outside the Haitian American community when Noël lovingly captures its rituals and routines.”
— The Moveable Fest, 2025 

“It [New York Day Women] evokes the feelings of When Harry Met Sally or On the Rocks, both of which feature a light, jazzy score while taking in the sights and sounds of the city.”
— Sunshine State Cineplex, 2025 

“While the short lasts less than ten minutes, the efficiency with which Noël builds the relationship makes us feel like we’ve known this family for years.”
— Sunshine State Cineplex, 2025 

“New York Day Woman captures just a brief moment in the shared lives of these women, but it has a lovely, elegiac tone.”
— MovieJawn, 2025 

“Hopefully, we hear from Noël a lot in the future, and it’s another excellent piece to show that this young director deserves our attention.”
