    There aren't many guys who could make a movie a year for fifty years and bat .400. But Woody Allen is so uninterested in other people that he can only break his slump now when he makes a accidentally makes a movie about his covert lack of conscience (Crimes & Misdemeanors, Match Point, etc.)

    I rewatched, Woody Allen's, Match Point (2005), last night. This is easily one of his very best films. A spiritual sequel to Crimes & Misdemeanors. God what a great film! I think this is Woody's favorite of his own films. After a string of lightweight films, boy did he come back strong. ScarJo = ❤️😍

    I rewatched, Woody Allen’s - Scoop (2006). With one of my favorite actresses ever, Scarlett Johansson. Looking as beautiful as ever. Second film in a row with Woody. Nowhere near as great as Match Point, but still very good. A fun lightweight film. Charming actually. 3.5/5

    Match Point has a terrible fascination that lasts all the way through. We can see a little way ahead, but the movie is too clever for us, too cynical. We expect the kinds of compromises and patented endings that most thrillers provide, and this one goes right to the wall.

    Bananas and Love & Death and Annie Hall are all fun and funny. Everything after that is increasingly self-absorbed and recycled and not funny at all. Crimes & Misdemeanors and Match Point are practically the same movie and they're both humorless cynical films that make you feel gross afterwards.

    Scarlett Johansson’s visiting American has been around the block a few times, but she is helpless when the Brits go to work on her. Match Point has a terrible fascination that lasts all the way through. The movie is too clever for us, too cynical and the ending is incredible.

    Agreed 1000%. Match Point especially how it's choreographed with the movie is one of the best pieces of cinema I've seen all year and the themes across the entire soundtrack slap. At least they got the Globe. Also bullshit, they didn't get a best picture nod.

    I recently rewatched it. I love it obviously, but I prefer some that came after it like Irrational Man and Wonder Wheel. I think Match Point is better, too. I am grateful that the Diceman got to be in a Woody movie. Bobby Cannavale too. Cate's entitlement is so over the top. Brilliant performance.

A biting riff on class climbing, personal liberation, love vs money & the greed for both, etc, all filtered through a cowardly protag very cogently. Cynical but sardonically so. Fun! 8/10

    This is one I've seen a handful of times before and while I liked it, I wasn't as love with it when I first saw. Still a solid suspense-drama with fine acting (but not great), it is of course being a Woody Allen film, very talky. The suspense does ratchet up in the final 15-minutes and the theme of luck is well done. There is one gaping plot hole in regards to Nola's pregnancy which any autopsy would catch coupled with Chris's initial denial of the affair when talking with the police, I can…

    There were two Emilys, Emily Mortimer from the movie Match Point and Emily Blunt from Devil Wears Prada. I'm shocked that Mortimer had a son and he had a large role in White Lotus. He's kind of right, it seems doubtful his parents had anything to do with him getting the role.
