The good news is that once the gears of the plot kick in, Allen's expert comic timing proves as beguiling as ever.

Nobody labors quite like Woody Allen to produce a modest entertainment.

A movie inspired by movie escapism. Minor, but surprisingly, almost defiantly upbeat.

3/4

The philosophy-free plot, as lightweight as a lemon meringue pie, recalls (to paraphrase Stardust Memories) Allen's early, funny pictures.

Allen seems strangely refreshed here, and everyone involved is clearly having a blast.

فيلم جميل جدًا، بقصة متماسكة تقدم بشكل ذكي يربط بين التسارع و الهدوء في البداية اعطى المخرج مساحة لكي نتعرف على الشخصيات بشكل هادىء . تطور الشخصيات كان رائع منح المخرج لكل شخصية مساحتها لتعبّر عن نفسها. البطلة قدّمت حضورًا قوي كانت موازية للبطل في كثير من اللحظات، وأحيانًا تتفوق عليه. الأدوار الثانوية تمثيلها جيد جدا و محد بيهم حاول يعلي على البطل او البطلة كل ممثل أبدع ضمن المساحة المخصصة له . كل الذكرناه ظهر بسبب الاخراج العبقري مع تصوير انسيابي جميل، تتحرك فيه الكاميرا بسلاسة حتى أثناء الحوارات كل المشاهد بالفلم عبالك مدروس لا يوجد حشوا كل شيء تم تصويرة كان لخدمة القصة . أما الموسيقى الكلاسيكية، فكانت إضافة موفقة دعمت الأجواء العامة للفيلم
