Director and cast
Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
These people offer no sense that they exist beyond the bits of exposition that Allen has written into his screenplay.
This is vintage Allen, his powers intact after a string of increasingly cranky, creaky films in the last few years.
The ensemble cast performs in perfect cadence.
A delicious comedy.
