Review of Magic in the Moonlight (2014) by Amboy — 23 Aug 2014
Woody Allen loves to make movies even when he has nothing to say. This film is a romantic comedy without romance or comedy. Colin Firth can do no wrong as an actor, but the script keeps him from doing anything right.
Emma Stone looks washed out. Eileen Atkins' crisp delivery can't quite redeem soggy lines. It is painful to see a director and actors you admire working at such a low, tired level of inspiration. Mr.
Allen maybe it's time to return to Manhattan. Mr. Firth, if movie scripts are barren, do a play.
