Going to the Wellnew
Unoriginal but pleasantly prosaic, Allen's latest is a diverting story of crime, love and luck that conducts itself with a refreshing absence of moral judgment.

Woody Allen's Best Drama to Datenew
By swapping his trademark New York locales for London and ridding the film of neurotic wisecrackers, the director breaks his recent streak of pointless comedies and constipated dramas.

Solid Wood
This is the first good Woody Allen movie since the neurotic New Yorker realized that a significant shake-up was in order if he were to once again be regarded as, well, significant.

Serve and Follynew
Woody Allen's Cannes-hyped, Brit-inflected latest is a mildly pretentious mediocrity. The performances Allen gets, with his puppet hand permanently up his cast's colons, suggest an undergrad film adaptation of Dreiser.
