ok submitted by Ele Z. on July 23, 2011, 6:47pm ok

Good movie submitted by Zekicmom on July 15, 2013, 9:42am I really enjoyed this film. The concept of a movie character walking off the screen was new, fun and thought provoking.

This one always seemed a bit overrated to me. submitted by lisa on July 23, 2018, 11:09am And I love Woody.

Local interest, on accounta Jeff Daniels, and his naming the theater in Chelsea after it (or the money he got from it).

Movie Magic submitted by kencza on August 5, 2019, 11:50pm Woody Allen outdoes himself in this rollercoaster of emotion and fantasy, and top performances by Farrow, Daniels, and Aiello
make this a winner. Allen always seem to bring period pieces to life with scene setting, wardrobe, and wonderful soundtracks.

This may be Woody Allen's best film. submitted by GJBarnett2 on August 28, 2020, 12:57pm At least he thinks highly of it, and so do I.

Great submitted by Harlowamy on August 29, 2020, 1:57pm Funny interesting unique storyline

clever idea, ended too quickly, not much of a plot. submitted by Tassos on April 24, 2021, 10:23pm Funny, but sure NOT Allen's best by a longshot.
