Realistic Feelings and Steady Suspense

Rating: 10/10 (15 January 2006)

I'm deeply impressed with Allen's newest creation that is so painstakingly real and intense. This film creates a perfectly mimicked reality in which I hope I will never happen to live. There is no Hollywood softened plot and rationale, but real, fresh and dedicated acting. It is hard not to fall in love with Miss Johansson and I believe Chris Wilton when being torn. In general the psychological layer is very rich. Less epic and less "funny" than other films by W. Allen, the director's style still is persistent within the plot, i.e. the honest way of dealing with human feelings and actions. My favorite Allen along with Deconstructing Harry.
