Review of To Rome with Love (2012) by Dylan D — 09 Sep 2013

At its most basic, To Rome with Love represents the joyous power of simple storytelling shaped by interesting and everyday but slightly off-kilter characters. The film works because it shows the quirky side of life through the eyes of a divergent collection of individuals set against one of the most alluring backdrops in the world.

Add the unmistakable Woody Allen charm and the workings of a terrific ensemble cast, and it's easy to see why Allen remains not only popular but an icon both on the camera and off of it even so many years removed from his biggest cinema successes.

To Rome with Love shows that there's quite a bit of magic left in the tank; here's hoping for many more new Woody Allen films in the years to come.
