Everyone is superficial, but Paris makes up for them

Rating: 9/10 (16 July 2019)

Gosh - I've never liked or understood Woody Allen movies, but I'm very fond of this one. Wilson is less an innocent than he is shallow, but I just try to ignore his flat voice. Marion Cotillard is beautiful as ever and the historical figures looklike themselves, but the real star of the movie is Paris, especially at night. The conceit of the film, that Wilson is mentored by authors who spent time in Paris in the 20s, is clever and amusing. The dialogue is hilarious; Allen hasn't lost his touch.
