It's not a terrible film, and it will find its audience who will no doubt love it, but to me it's just another Woody Allen flick in a sea of Woody Allen flicks.March 21, 2017
It's uneven, it's empty, and it's redundant.July 29, 2016
If it doesn't reach the heights of Woody's best - 2013's "Blue Jasmine" was his last great film - it still has several rich touches, including a luminous performance by Kristen Stewart.February 08, 2017
This has the makings of a heavy, maybe even tragic story, but it turns out to be as light a a Twinkie. This is a story in which all's well enough that ends sort of O.K.July 28, 2016
A love story drenched in nostalgia, "Café Society" is a film of rare beauty.July 29, 2016
Cafe Society is mainly a small and unnervingly familiar private drama that is never funny enough nor smart enough to justify its anachronistic style.July 22, 2016
Maybe Woody Allen waited too long to make "Café Society"; it seems, weirdly, to be an uninspired remake of itself.July 28, 2016
"I'm kind of half-bored, half-fascinated," Eisenberg tells his bro over the long-distance line, and the sentiment could also apply to the movie - although Storaro's sumptuous cinematography makes even its mundane moments enchanting.May 03, 2017
You don't have to be an Allen aficionado to enjoy Cafe Society -- in relatively short doses, that is.January 01, 2017
Café Society, lest we forget, may be a minor strut in the large Allen canon but it has been made by one of the most fluent directors in America and, for that reason alone, is worth savouring.September 02, 2016
You'll end up feeling about the film like Bobby about Los Angeles -- "half-bored, half-fascinated." And that's a pretty poor average, even for two poorly stitched-together films.February 14, 2017
An authentic reinvention of melancholy as a unique vital coloration. [Full review in Spanish]
