Critic Reviews

  • Emanuel Levy, EmanuelLevy.Com

    One of Woody Allen's weakest, most static films, inspired by Ingmar Bergman's serious dramas on the one hand and by Lana Turner's scandalous life on the other.

  • Anthony Del Valle, Las Vegas Mercury

    Some of our best actors turn dreary on us in this creaky, overly self-analytical drama.

  • Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality and Practice

    Has a Chekhovian flavor in its considerations of love, mother-daughter relationships, family secrets, and aging.

    Probably one of my least favorite of the Woody Allen movies.
