A good movie

Even though I used to be a huge fan of Woody Allen's work, I have to admit that I don’t really care much about his movies anymore. I mean, I still check them whenever I have the opportunity but, in my opinion, it has been decades since he has delivered anything really mindblowing. This flick was a perfect example. Indeed, even though it must be one of his most acclaimed recent directing efforts, it turned out to be a decent watch but I thought it was still nothing really amazing after all. I mean, there was a very good cast (Rebecca Hall, Scarlett Johansson, Javier Bardem, Penélope Cruz), they all delivered some pretty good performances and there was some really good dialogues, especially at the beginning. Unfortunately, even if Allen gave us 4 intriguing characters all involved in some even more intriguing relationships, the whole thing never went anywhere after all. As a matter of fact, at the end, Rebecca Hall’s and Scarlett Johansson’s characters end up basically at the same position they started . Eventually, I really loved the first half and it reminded me of Allen's best work but, while the second half was watchable, it was still rather underwhelming. Anyway, to conclude, even though I think it is actually rather overrated, I have to admit that it was still an entertaining romantic flick and it is definitely worth a look.
