Wow. When someone praises a performance in an Allen film, I consider that very high praise, since off the top of my head I can't think of any bad acting in his movies. I mean, if Andrew Dice Clay does a respectable job, you know Cate's gonna knock it out of the park.
This flick comes close to his work in the 80s, which I consider his golden age. At first I thought a re-telling of Streetcar Named Desire would be pretty pointless, but this is a very good re-telling.
By the way, after Match Point came the poor Scoop. After Vicky Christina came the forgettable You Will Meet a Tall Handsome Stranger. After Midnight in Paris came the okay When in Rome. What I'm saying is, his next one probably won't be that great.
Hope I'm wrong. Hope he makes just one more movie as good as Hannah and Her Sisters or Crimes and Misdemeanors. Just one.
