Review of Café Society (2016) by Donald W — 26 Feb 2018
#WoodyAllenRetro Podcast Project.
An extremely pleasant surprise, a character romance told over a good number of years where Eisenberg and Stewart provide truly mature and captivating performances, Carell is fine, cinematography is stunning and throwing us back in these times of hollywood and the club scenes are quite engaging and entertaining. The overall theme of choices made and following ones heart are quite well executed and even the more darker comedic elements involving gang murder and corruption add to the overall enjoyment and makes us feel like this is quite underrated from what we observe in the common consensus - the only real criticism to give here is the movie feels a bit over- stuffed with content and could be streamlined in hindsight... OR this would have made a much much better option as the Amazon tv series than what turned out to be the awful and uninspired 'Crisis in Six Scenes'.
