Review of Café Society (2016) by Preciouskiki — 01 Aug 2016
Enjoyed every minute of it. What a great cast! Jesse Eisenberg, Kirsten Stewart, Steve Carell, and Blake Lively are all just terrific in this delightful 1930s period piece. I thought Corey Stoll was particularly good as the gangster brother.
And it was especially good to see Jeannie Berlin again as Rose Dorfman, the mother of Jesse Eisenberg's character. You may remember her as the spurned wife in the original 1972 "Heartbreak Kid" opposite the inimitable Charles Grodin.
(I'm glad to say that gem of a movie has turned up on TV again recently after a long absence.) Sari Lennick does a great job as the sister Evelyn. Stunning costumes, gorgeous scenery, wonderful music, and a fun story: what more could you want? Woody Allen narrates.
