Dallas ObserverRobert Wilonsky
Match Point may well be a return to form but only for those who love "September" and "Interiors," movies populated by Bergman evacuees too inert and dreary to even crack a smile. Read full review

Wall Street JournalJoe Morgenstern
The movie wears thin as its style turns from light parody into affectation, and the plot, which certainly generates lots of anxiety, eventually settles for facile irony.

Austin ChronicleMarjorie Baumgarten
Rather than providing a foil for Bill Murray in "Lost in Translation" or embodying the mostly silent model for the painter Vermeer in "The Girl With One Pearl Earring," Johansson actually has to emote prodigiously here, and she is just not up to the task. Read full review

TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonagh
This thin chronicle of bad behavior among the rich and self-obsessed is above all painfully derivative, borrowing wholesale from Theodore Dreiser's "An American Tragedy" and echoes Allen's own "Crimes and Misdemeanors." Read full review

Village VoiceMichael Atkinson
A modest and mildly pretentious mediocrity in the Woodman canon. Read full review
