Café Society: 7/10


ive never seen a Woody Allen film so i decided to give this a go


its a very fine film. Allen excels in scenario. the plot is compelling and the major story beats are strong. though he falters with intimate dialogue.

the dialogue isnt bad save for a few scenes but those scenes are so critical that their inferioty stands out glaringly.

cinematography is very nice.

score is good.

Eisinberg, doing a Woody Allen impersonation for 90 min, while initially grating, he really won me over.

over all i liked it well enough though i did end up wondering if it would have been better if Allen sold this premise to a better writer and let a studio put another director over it.
