I think I missed the point entirely here, and I can’t fathom the 8 IMDb rating. To me it’s just another Closer, a bunch of self-centred Londoners who want the moon on a stick and us to give a damn – only unlike Closer, this one didn’t even remotely grab me.

People are raving that this is Woody Allen’s best in years … it’s certainly different, in fact the least ‘Woody Allen’ movie he’s made ever, and there are a few nice lines and moments, but I’d personally sooner watch Deconstructing Harry or even Anything Else than this again.

I can’t help but think that if he’d done this in his usual New York style it could’ve been so much better and made so much more sense. One saving grace is that you get to see a little of the inside of the Palace Theatre towards the end, which, as I’ve said, is a beautiful theatre, and surprisingly also hear a little of “The Woman in White”, lol. Oh yeh, and two of the League of Gentlemen (Gatiss and Pemberton) unless you blink.
