Worth a Look

This movie is going to boil down to the same old question -- do you or do you not like Woody Allen? If you do, this is more of the same from him. I usually find his style irritating due to the overuse of the narrator which continues in this movie. The story is neither original nor inspiring. You can see the exact same movie called "Summer Lovers" with Daryl Hannah. The most disappointing aspect of this movie was the cinematography. The entire movie is spent in romantic Spain and even though nearly all the players are artists and Scarlett's character loves photography, I can't recall any scenes of breathtaking sites or landscapes. I also was left wondering how Vicky was able to afford this summer getaway and then whisk off to France when she needed to be separated from her situation in Spain. I know nitpicky but I guess that puts me on the Not a Woody Allen fan team. |
