Good for its ending

Rating: 8/10 (9 April 2007)

OK, nothing that we haven't seen on other movies about bizarre love triangles: boy meets woman, man meets girl, boy meets girl, man marries girl, boy marries woman, boy gets girl.
Boy stays with woman, woman wants a child, woman can't get pregnant, boy just get nuts. Boy can't broke up with woman, woman still wants a child, girl gets pregnant, boy loses his mind.
That's it! This is what the movie is all about. We all heard this story before BUT, not told by Woody Allen. The perfectionism here is all about the differences between both Americans and Europeans culture, something that Woody knows lot about. The English aristocracy is well reported and the north American rustic veins too, like "ok, people, this is my first movie in Europe, so... something remains", until the time Woody kills what has been reminiscent. That's my point of view.
BUT... the great part here is the insanity that gradually installs on each character's mind to a point that you know how it ends, but you don't know how it goes. You THINK you will know how the end will comes till you see that it's not the way you thought and again it's not the different way you're thinking again and this makes this romance thriller one of the best ones in years.
Woody's perfectionism is here, all the time, but it doesn't affect the final results like use to happen on his previous works, and that's a very good thing, making this movie something consistent, heavy and not something just meaning to be the mirror of his freakness.
