Woody Allen indeed satirizes Augusto Pinochet here with his unique sense of humour. But is he really funny like a clown that amuses us…

Woody Allen builds a great, hilarious world. It's a shame that world is sometimes incoherent and underwhelming…

At times hilarious but mainly stupid. Woody Allen channels Chaplin and the Marx Brothers by taking his stand-up wit to the big screen…
