Superb Film-Making

Rating: 10/10 (6 January 2006)

"MatchPoint" is film-making at its best. This is the triumphant return of Woody Allen to the forefront of America's best film directors after a drought of inferior films lasting several years. Smartly-paced, excellent script, beautiful art direction (London has never looked better) and wonderfully performed by a superb cast, this is Allen's finest film achievement in over twenty years.This ranks amongst Allen's top films (Manhattan, Interiors, Annie Hall and Hannah and Her Sisters).When watching it there is not a scintilla of evidence that this is a film by Woody Allen but there is abundant evidence that this is a film by a master filmmaker.For its genre, they don't make films better than this!
