    Woody Allen at his introspective best. This movie is so honest that it almost feels like voyeurism. We watch Gabe and Judy, especially, struggle with the news that their best friends, Jack and Sally, split up without warning. It causes Gabe and Judy to re-examine their own marriage and true feelings about one another and about other people in their lives, who suddenly become more attractive and meaningful. As Jack and Sally explore their new independence, they come to some uncomfortable truths about themselves and what they want out of life. This is not your typical happy-ending movie, despite the fact that some of them talk about happiness. It raises more questions than it answers, but that's the mystery of life.

    This film shows brilliance in a way that must be seen to be believed. The acting is perfect and the story develops perfectly as we watch these struggling relationships unfold. You will cringe at some of the horrifying uncomfortable moments on the screen but you won't be able to look away. If this film does make you think, you aren't paying attention. Woody's excerpt from his novel, involving an analogy comparing sperm fertilizing an egg to men seeking sex, remains one of his most insightful moments. This is among Woody's best.
