Jan 26, 2019 Reviews here tend to compare this film with earlier Woody Allen films. Why? Why not compare with contemporary romcoms and superhero comicbooks come to life? Why compare at all? This film is actually pretty good. It's a snapshot of 2010 for the future to marvel over. I know people like these. I found myself rooting for the characters then getting annoyed with them and their choices. It misfits together brilliantly, lives touching lives, and it describes what motivates people and what gives meaning to our lives today. Not a lot of English Language movies go into such territory. See it with friends; this film makes for conversations afterwards. Enjoy; it's good work, beautifully lit, the sound is recorded fabulously (so unusual these days), the acting is bang on, the directing precise. It's got some laughs and a lot of awkward social situations to cringe over. See more

Draco S Nov 10, 2018 Interesting cast had its funny moments but nothing there to build on.

Kylo S Dec 16, 2017 #woodyallenretro Podcast Project Overall humorous in it's cynical message that delusions at times can make us happy for even just a brief period but the clear waste of talent for actors such as Banderas feels criminal - the mini plots are not ones you feel emotionally connected to and most of these stories don't actually end completely, even if we can see the harsh realties on the horizon - also the London setting is very drab so the visuals cannot pleasantly distract from the sloggish narrative and overall as many have echoed this feels like a very autopilot movie for Allen to create and we guess that's to be expected at times for a yearly creator with a yearly goal - again, we wish the movie actually lived up to its more romantic sounding title but this really comes off as a very tepid experience ...guess it was worth it to see Sir Anthony Hopkins working out at the gym in a very out of character mid life crisis story? Uhmmm - then again, maybe not :P See more

Anakin L Apr 1, 2017 Another movie written and directed by Woody Allen. Most of Allen's movies take place in New York City but this one takes place in London. As usual his movies are jam packed with very famous actors playing people involved in very complicated relationships. Naomi Watts is Sally, the daughter of an elderly couple who decide to divorce after years of marriage. Her mother finds comfort in advice from a fortune teller. In addition Sally's marriage is failing. Her husband leaves her for another woman. Sally's father marries a woman half his age. Things end badly for everyone except for Sally's mother who finds happiness when she meets a man who shares her belief in reincarnation. This movie leave s a lot of loose ends that makes you wonder what happened to those people but that may be the whole point. There are a lot of uncertainties in life. See more
