Café Society Reviews
A guy gets shot in the head- how is this pg-13. Unessary come on.
The chemistry between the central characters is non-existent. Eisenberg and Stewart are unbelievable as a couple still pining for each other after marrying other partners. The set design, music and costuming saves this movie from being a total stinker. I think I’ll rewatch Midnight in Paris and forget about the last two hours I spent watching this disappointment.
It's worth a watch if you're a Woody Allen fan, otherwise I'd skip it. Jesse Eisenberg's performance is clearly an impression of a young Woody Allen and he does a fantastic job of it.
I really liked the characters and actions of the actors
"Café Society," directed by Woody Allen, is a visual treat that transports audiences to the glamorous 1930s. The movie excels in its stunning aesthetics and meticulous world-building. Cinematographer Vittorio Storaro captures the era beautifully, from the dazzling lights of Hollywood to the sophisticated charm of New York's high society. The costumes and sets are equally impressive, immersing viewers in a bygone world of elegance and style. The cast delivers solid performances, with Jesse Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart leading the way. They bring a certain charm to their roles, making their characters engaging despite the film's shortcomings. However, "Café Society" falters in its storytelling. The plot meanders without much direction, leaving little impact. The dialogue, while occasionally witty, often feels flat and uninspired. While the film is undeniably gorgeous to look at, it ultimately lacks the substance needed to make it truly memorable. A beautiful, but ultimately shallow, cinematic experience.
Woody Allen was great at 60s and 70s but now he just repeats the same plot over and over again
Allen's retreading well worn territory here but at least he's doing so with a little more verve than we've seen from him recently.
Enjoyable watch. Steve Carrell is great. The leads are great. Timeless style costumes. Great reflection on life and romance.
Mais filme sensacional. Um adendo para a atuação de Stevie Carrel, sensacional.
There is plenty of laughs but also occasions to shed a tear. What-could-have-been mentality is easy to paint rosy. My theory is it turns out the way it did for reasons we cannot fathom.
This is an easy watch, with a nice, light, jolly touch to it. It has easy listening/jazz type music played in the background and its quite stylish, with heavy use of orange and yellow colours in the lighting. I liked the character Bobby, played by Jesse Eisenberg - Jesse is an ideal person to play the role as Bobby is clearly a quite awkward person, a fish out of the water type (he usually plays such roles). I thought it was a nice watch, although the ocassional narration was a bit distracting and perhaps not entirely necessary. There is an element of cheese about it but its by no means a bad watch, especially if your keen on the cast (Eisenberg aside, Kristen Stewart and Steve Carrel also star in this film). Its not greatly memorable but its a solid enough watch I thought was quite good and I'd recommend it regardless.
Smart, funny and romantic!
Solid Woody film & story. He gets great performances from his actors.
Not bad. One of WA's better films, I think. For me, Steve Carrell is never quite convincing. I don't know why. But the main character and Vonnie are both fabulous in their roles.
Commedia classica di Woody Allen, che cuce al protagonista Jesse Eisenberg un personaggio simile in tutto e per tutto al suo regista; soprattutto nella prima parte. Il mix di personaggi e le ambientazioni dell'alta società esaltano dialoghi e non necessitano di eccessive esagerazioni per rendere tutto filante. Nel finale si perde un po' di spinta, ci si trascina sentendo però che manca qualcosa, esattamente come sembra mancare ai due protagonisti una volta lontani tra di loro.
While Café Society doesn't compare favorably to Woody Allen's classics, it is certainly a pleasant diversion and is more than passable entertainment. Jesse Eisenberg plays a Woody Allen-like Bobby Dorfman, a naïve young man who heads to Los Angeles to find his fortune. He falls in love with the demure Vonnie (Kristen Stewart), who just happens to be the mistress of Bobby's Uncle Aaron (Steve Carell). While the tale of unrequited love is nothing new and a secondary story concerning Bobby's older brother's criminal activities seems unnecessary, the three main characters are all interesting, the dialogue is sharp, and the cinematography of Vittorio Storaro is absolutely stunning.
A perfectly enjoyable movie, with beautiful sets, costumes and photography. If it was from someone other than Woody Allen, people would probably be gushing about it. It's a solid Allen undertaking, with his usual cast of characters getting caught up in romance and desire and things they don't really understand. Don't expect Annie Hall or Manhattan and you won't be disappointed.
Agradável de assistir, o personagem principal me deu um pouco de nervoso pela interpretação do ator...heheh Curioso.
