I didn't realize this was a Woody Allen film but it makes more sense now that I do. Watching it the entire time I could not understand how a smart young woman from a nuclear family would ever look twice at the paunchy, neurotic professor or be dating and then gaslighting such a weak doormat of a beta male. It's never even remarked upon that she's emotionally disordered to be so toxic and unhealthy. The men and women are so viciously Liberal in their ideologies that they are caricatures. The two main female characters are both cheating, neurotic, self-important and vapid - all the while the movie treats them as if they are serious women with admirable traits because they have the elitist skillset of knowing the names of authors or poets and the main character plays piano. Everything else about their personalities is absolutely vapid and dull. Same with the men. The professor is so blindingly narcissistic it's hard to not want to punch him in his repulsive paunch and the boyfriend's inability to draw a single healthy boundary should be taught as everything not to be as a man. It's not just that she cuckhold's him (both women in the film cuckhold their men) it's the lies and gaslighting while trying to portray the women as anything other than pure trash and the men as redeemable at all. They aren't. In the end, I wished this would have been one of those movies where an explosion kills all the main characters. That world would have been a better place without any of them in it. Giving it a two, rather than a 1, because although having not everyone die in the end was a letdown, I made it through the movie wishing for a better ending so there is that.

This movie is everything that is wrong with the world. It uses little girls, puts them in hyper sexualized situations involving nudity of little girls and then tells the world "Hey, it's JUST a movie and they are going to GET RICH" It's ART. Because there are very powerful wealthy people who want us to understand that destroying children is fine so long as someone (them) makes money off of it. No. It's not. It's not Art. It's toxic horrible trash.
