Fun And Kind Of Different

Rating: 7/10 (17 May 2019)

MATCH POINTS certainly has its fun moments. It has some really great ones. Overall, it's not a perfect film, but it's good enough. And it's different compared to much of Allen's works. The guy keeps cranking out movies year after year, but he's really branched out lately, making more films in Europe; in Spain or the UK, wherever he can get financing.
That's part of what makes this film so good, is that it's a Woody Allen film set overseas. The story is great too, of course, as is the acting from some really talented stars. I've heard, however, that they didn't like the film so much over there. I think the uninformed dialog sounded weird to their ears. That makes sense, but I didn't know any better, so enjoyed it. Recommend.
