Tony S @RT22145614 Aug 10 As a critic said, we were warned. A voiceover near the beginning of the film quotes Macbeth about sound and fury signifying nothing. "A one book wonder" was funny. Most of it was mildly amusing.

We are presented with a cast of characters who aren't terribly likeable but who face life choices and decisions that are rather fascinating and make us contemplate what we would do if we were in their shoes. The film is almost Altman-esque in its relationships and overlapping storylines, and I found myself enthralled through most of the proceedings. I was least interested in the parts featuring Anthony Hopkins falling for call girl Lucy Punch, in the film's one awkward performance. And I was especially taken by the scenes with Brolin, both in his obsession with the enchanting Freida Pinto and his ruthless need for creative success at any cost. If you are a Woody fan, I would recommend you check this one out. See more Wade W @wade_says 07/16/2023 This is one of Allen's more offbeat projects and to me, it's just alright. The performances are solid, but the story never reeled me in. Lots of cliches. Not much depth.

Nice classic Woody Allen film, amusing, beautifully shot, fabulous cast, well-directed. Light-hearted with an underpinning of wistful recognition of the human condition and tragedy and/or comedy of being mortal (or not...) See more Read all reviews
