Allen's irony enjoyable as usual

Rating: 8/10 (5 June 2016)

This is a lighthearted, enjoyable film full of humor and irony over human condition. Typical Allen in what he always excels. Don't expect from this film great philosophical and existential dramas. People who leave bad reviews either don't get the irony or maybe it resonates with their personal similar experiences. It is a bit like relatives of Antonio writing some of the reviews. The current 6.3 grade undervalues the film, in my opinion it is a firm 7.5. IMDb in general undervalues European-style films. Watch Allen's film, enjoy the walk through Rome, derive moral lessons at your will. This film is on par with his late films (obvious comparison with Midnight in Paris, Magic in the Moonlight and others). Midnight in Paris probably has a bit more depth,just due to the script. This film consists of four stories developed in parallel, with only the city of Rome joining them together.
