Landeau, Alda, Farrow,Huston, Allen. Woody really captures defeat, jealousy, and guilt with this 2 tier story and brings the 2 together
It masterfully blends drama and dark comedy, featuring excellent performances and thought-provoking themes.
It's reasonable to have a hate on for Woody these days, but this is still a pretty compelling work with a great cast.
Lost me in the first half but the second half when it all comes together, it becomes a solid morality tale,
Deliciously cringey, in true Woody Allen fashion. Seen twice, would watch again.
One of the best movies by Woody Allen. A moral allegory that won't leave you.
Woody Allen is trying to tell us that if Raskalnikov could have just kept himself from confessing, he could have had a clear conscience.
If you thought that Match Point was great, you should watch its origins
Funny Woody Allen movie, with quirky characters and a good story.
1 of Woody's best. Respected doctor wants to get rid of mistress. A film about moral choices-Does learning about right and wrong matter?
