Review of Whatever Works (2009) by Gabriel K — 22 May 2010
As usual, quite ingenious, entertaining and delightfully funny. Apparently, Woody Allen kept screenplay for this film in his drawer for many years (at least ever since his recent European filming projects).
It was definitely worth the wait, especially to see the young and promising Evan Rachel Wood, of whom I am sure we will hear a lot more in the days to come. In addition, Larry David is probably the best on-screen extension of Woody since the memorable Kenneth Branagh role.
What makes this film great is that once again, Allen picks and makes fun of pretty much everything you can think of. Probably not one of his better films, but it is nevertheless great to see that he is still in good form.
Can't wait for his next projects, especially the upcoming one with Marion Cotillard and Carla Bruni to be filmed in Paris.
