Café Society, written and directed by Woody Allen, proposes a nostalgic trip to the United States of the 30s embedded in jazz and classic cinema. However, the story will be much more than that, it will also remind us of the uniqueness of the first love.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jan 12, 2024

Perhaps “Café Society” strolls at its own pace and perhaps Woody Allen is in cruise control with his latter films. Still I had a lot of fun with this one.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 19, 2022

Café Society, more than any Allen film in recent memory, feels like a jumbled hodgepodge of ideas.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 11, 2022

Its all right, an average dramedy with a touch of old world (and Jewish) idiosyncrasy. ... The ending doesn't work. ... Here fantasy hits a brickwall.

if you must stick to a formula, there are worse ones to follow. Even in this low gear, the points about relationships are as salient as ever, helped along by Eisenberg in restrained and likeable form.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 18, 2022

Embroidered with the odd punch line and hints of melancholy.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 4, 2021

The name of the club was meant ironically. This was not the locale for the rich and officially celebrated.

| Feb 25, 2021

Cafe Society is a sunny, warm, and gentle film, perfect for the young at heart.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 2, 2021

It is a shame that with this romantic comedy Woody Allen's cinema suffers the wear and tear of a routine that resorts to repeating itself with ease. His grace is only passable when he feels like it. [Full review in Spanish]

While it may not interest you to wonder if and when Jesse officially inherits the Allen baton, Cafe Society is funny enough to push the matter out of mind for this summer treat until final credits roll.

| Jun 10, 2020

[Woody] Allen pushes himself beyond his patented funny and delivers a film with emotionally resonant characters (but still dealing with myriad neuroses) and a story as rich as the film's visuals.

| Nov 3, 2019

Woody Allen has a way of capturing the tone and essence of whatever setting and time period he is highlighting and transports the viewer seamlessly into that world.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Sep 19, 2019

The costumes and production design are impeccable and it is a pleasant enjoyable story of old town Hollywood.

| Original Score: B | Apr 12, 2019

Effortlessly well-made cinematic comfort food at its warmest.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 26, 2019

The period detail of locations and costumes is faultless.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 22, 2019

A fine movie for a late summers evening.

| Original Score: 7.5/10 | Dec 21, 2018

CAFÉ SOCIETY is so many things combined into one stellar picture that makes you love being in love with the movies again.

| Original Score: B+ | Dec 10, 2018

Nostalgic in setting yet candid in tone. The events are predictable, but that is partially the point.

| Aug 23, 2018

[The film's] power builds over time through the subtle gut punches thrown at each character's prideful egos. Vittorio Storaro's sun-kissed cinematography makes that transition entirely seamless.

| Aug 22, 2018

"Café Society" is plagued by dull characters, ridiculous dialogue, and an essence that is half dreamy, half cynical.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 22, 2018
