Review of Café Society (2016) by Dann M — 17 Jul 2017
Lighthearted and fun, Café Society is a witty satire from Woody Allen. The story follows a young man who moves out to Hollywood hoping to work for his uncle in the movie business and he soon falls in love.
Featuring Jesse Eisenberg, Kristen Stewart, Steve Carell, and Blake Lively, the film has an impressive cast that delivers some strong performances. And Allen's dialog is especially well-written, with a lot of clever commentary on Hollywood.
Additionally, the sets and costumes look and feel authentic to the 1930s. However, the plot kind of meanders a bit and doesn't do a lot of character development. Yet while it has its problems, Café Society is an entertaining and charming film that delivers some good laughs.
