Match Point
Todd McCarthyA change of scenery does Woody Allen a world of good in Match Point. Making his first film in the U.K. with a story originally conceived for New York, Allen once again takes up issues of morality and guilt in what amounts to An English Tragedy, as in Theodore Dreiser. Well-observed and superbly cast picture is the filmmaker's best in quite a long time and as such reps an attractive potential acquisition for a U.S. distrib keen to break Allen's recent string of B.O. flops.
Although the script is spiked with mordant humor, the prevailing serious mood is underlined by doom-laden laments from Italian grand opera and refs to Dostoevsky, Strindberg and even Andrew Lloyd Webber's dramatically similar The Woman in White. In thematic terms, Match Point, whose ten...
Match Point
Carina ChocanoIf it weren't for a few small, telltale details ??? a character flipping through not one but two Dostoevsky novels at bedtime, a cash-challenged actress living in a charming London one-bedroom ??? you might never know that Match Point was Woody Allen's latest. For one thing, it's set in London, and only one of the major characters is American. For another, there's no Woody Allen character in sight, not even a thinly veiled British one. Nobody stutters or trips over the furniture, compulsively quoting Strindberg and Groucho Marx. It pretty much keeps its pulse steady, its blood cold and its nerves tamped down ??? which, combined with cinematographer Remi Adefarasin's architectural Hitchcockian flourishes, lends a queasy, cool air to the proceedings.

Awful
I've always loved Woody Allen films and also fell for the reviewers' hype. But this was just truly awful. Bad everything. I have to wonder if Woody has actually gone to see a movie in the last 10 years. The plot was substandard soap style, the dialogue phony, the characters cliche'd. And to make it worse the representation of London was unbelievably distorted. What a waste of time. Bleah!

Match Point
In Alliance Nicety, the first of three movies he intends to make in Britain, Woody Allen omits his signature moves to demonstrate the brute, random underlay of our lives, via a subtract from through the English ‚lite class. The recital of how young Chris Wilton (Jonathan Rhys-Meyers) falls into the gravitational pull of a rich species, presently beautifying dependent upon their largesse and tempted to commit evil to keep safe his position, Marry Point is a thriller primary and a Woody Allen film more recent. Match Crux benefits from not having the increasingly uncertain presence of Woody Allen either on screen or in the form of a more youthful stand for-in, such as Jason Biggs in Anything Else or Will Ferrell in Melinda And Melinda. It is also a relief to ge...
