Review of Crimes and Misdemeanors (1989) by Alastair W — 28 Mar 2017
"Its only at the end when the films true meaning dawns on you". A slow builder and not nearly as quirky or humorous as compared with Woody Allens other "greats" such as Annie Hall or Hannah and her sisters.
Nonetheless, Allen has delivered an engaging film, setting his usual existential themes against the back drop of 2 seemingly connected characters. The ending scene is one of his best. I would only criticise the somewhat sleepy first half, which whilst entertaining, pales when compared to scenes from Woody Allens other films.
