I have seen a lot of Woody Allen movies in my day, this one got scraped because Allen got caught up in the #metoo movement and accused of sexual abuse of his daughter. I'm not here to discuss that but will say the HBO doc did not help his innocent cause all that much.
It's funny to see different actors play Allen in these movies probably over the last 20 years or so and have to agree with another reviewer that they even take on his cadence when delivering lines. I'm no big fan of Timothy Chalamet but he did his best Woody in this movie. I found it funny how in a city of 12mm or whatever that all the characters kept running into people they knew around every corner, even jumping into the same cab with your x-girlfriends sister. Who Chalamet ran into in a prior scene visiting a friend filming a student film. I mean every 10 mins one of the main characters ran into someone they had known or had just met prior in the movie. I went to New York and tried to meet up with one of my friends on purpose....and we couldn't find each other, but in this movie....not an issue.
Thay being said I did laugh a few times. Face it...Woody writes some damn funny lines in all his movies and his references however so obscure make you think which you don't really do in other movies these days. The music is great, the story a bit all over the place. Not a movie to let keep running to make a food or beverage run. I made sure to pause it. All in all I am glad Amazon lived up to its original obligation to Allen and put this movie out. Worth a watch, not one of his best and in my opinion he really doesnt have a worst.
