    An odd film for Allen, neither an overt comedy or one of his dark serious films. This is a light drama, something he has not done much. While far from his best work, I felt more warmly towards it than most of the press. Some of the criticisms are valid; the voice over narration seems out of tone with the film, and at times tells us too literally what we already know. Yet, in the current American cinema, how many film-makers are getting to even and try and address the complex subtle questions of grown-up relationships, aging and the fear of death, and the lies we tell ourselves to get through it all? Or deal with the paradox that humans seem to need something to believe in, and yet that same belief can also lead us astray? Or give great older actors like Anthony Hopkins and Gemma Jones really meaty roles? As long as Allen keeps asking questions, he remains a voice worth listening to.
