Review of The Longest Week (2014) by Film G — 09 May 2015
First people saying this is a "Woody Allen" movie are just showng how vapid and uneducated they are. This film has a great real film feel to it and I spent the whole time trying to figure out what year it was in.
The backgrounds go from what seemed to be the 50's up to modern day in subtle ways. It was a very flashback/retro movie for me that reminded me of the 1970s and how quiet and simple things were before computers and the cell phone.
Woody Allen didn't invent movies filmed in NY with a narration. The film had me interested the whole time and I admired the cinematography, the locations, architecture, wardrobe, backgrounds, and sets.
It's not the best movie in the world but it made me thing which is more than 99.9% of the drivel being made today does. If you didn't like it I can direct you to some worthless films like Intersteller, The Hobbit, Night at the Museum, Fifty Shades of Grey.
.. all which were rated better than this film but were much less enjoyed by me. Also the film poster/cover totally misleads the fim goer because it totaly misses the retro feeling that this film has.
