Acting at its very highest levels.

Rating: 10/10 (30 December 1999)

If you want "awesome" or "super" - don't go. If you are hungry for entertainment that rivets your attention without the aid of special effects, raw sex or violence - then by all means see this movie. Woody Allen has successfully captured a consequential chunk of life's experience in his guitar player story. Consummate performers executing the craft of acting at its very highest levels carry the audience through a kaleidoscope of feelings often sidestepped in today's culture. It has a lot of sensitivity and delicacy. It has a John Waters cameo. You feel really full when you leave.
