This, at best, is second-rate, unimportant Woody Allen. It tries much too hard and delivers only the obvious.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 1, 2022

One of Woody's best.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jan 15, 2022

The joy of this bouncy, brainy Allen outing is how effortlessly he meshes his serious, clearly personal conundrums with the giddy formulas of backstage farce.

One of Woody Allen's flat-out funniest movies.

Dianne Wiest elevates even the most esoteric argument in the film to a level of sublime entertainment.

[A] deft period farce, his most enjoyable movie in years.

The performances, however, are very enjoyable, with first honors going to Chazz Palminteri and Dianne Wiest.

No! Don't speak! See it!

| Jun 24, 2006

Essentially a backstage comedy about artists and gangsters in 1920s New York, the film doesn't break any new ground but it's pleasantly amusing and benefits from charming turns from Diane Wiest as the grand dame and John Cusack as the young artist.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 8, 2006

You can watch Bullets Over Broadway with the sound off and have a thrilling time. You can listen to it from the next room and achieve total bliss.

One of Allen's best. Don't speak!
