Very good addition to Woody Allen’s filmography. Thoughtful, intelligent movie unlike anything Hollywood churns out these days. Woody’s fingerprints are all over this one and you can just hear him typing away every time the characters speak. Performances are good (not necessarily great). Look for Bette Midler’s daughter in a small role. Santo Loquasto’s set design and Rhode Island location photography are idyllic. Compared to Allen’s other great morality plays (Crimes and Misdemeanors, Match Point, Cassandra’s Dream), this one seems a bit over-emphatic, though it remains intriguing and satisfying throughout. There are even several Hitchcock touches thrown in - the unrelated murder from Strangers on a Train and the final struggle between good and evil from Shadow of a Doubt. Especially noteworthy are the classroom lectures which question the validity of classic philosophical thought.Read full review
