Review of Irrational Man (2015) by Aman A — 31 Mar 2016

I quite enjoyed this verbal masterbation that ended in poignant reflection. The movie has quite honest acting and very simple direction like all Woody Allen movies. The dialogues were straight out of his book and the theme was spot on, existentialism and sex with dry humour.

I like how between the beginning and the end of the movie, there was not much change in the "physical" world but a major change in the character development. It could have all just been a dream and yet make that believable an impact.

I loved the pace. It was building, then engrossing, then tense, and then abrupt. There were moments where I was pretty tense in a movie that doesn't have or need to have that kind of stuff that mystery or thriller movies have.

It was refreshing to see him still make movies that can make you think as well as make you enjoy. Salute!
