Review of Manhattan (1979) by Dave Kehr for Chicago Reader — 05 Feb 1981
The script is funny and observant, full of shocks of recognition, but for all his progress as a writer, Allen's direction remains disconcertingly amateurish. Still, it remains perhaps the only film in which Allen has been able to successfully imagine a personality other than his own.
