Like he did for Cate Blanchett in Blue Jasmine, Woody Allen has given another Kate (Winslet) a role that allows her to go all out.

Unfortunately, this character is so unbearably neurotic that's Winslet isn't liable to win an Oscar (as Blanchett did). She plays a waitress in '50s Coney Island who's married to a blustery carousel operator (Jim Belushi). His estranged daughter (Juno Temple) shows up on the lam from gangsters, while the local lifeguard (Justin Timberlake, who also acts as narrator) causes hearts to flutter. The period creation is fun and Vittorio Storaro's gold-infused cinematography adds visual richness. There are obvious parallels to Tennessee Williams and/or Eugene O'Neil, but this screenplay only features continuous conflicts and melodramatic histrionics that lack much depth or emotion. Since it's Allen, there's a level of filmmaking competence, but its flaws outweigh its strenghs.… Expand

It's amazing to me that Woody Allen can bump out a movie each year and make it so rich and old fashion. Unfortunately the film themselves have become a faded memory for me, expect for 'Midnight in Paris'. I don't remember a single thing that happened in his previous movie 'Café Society'. This will suffer the same thing.

Allen making a love triangle around a woman and her stepchild isn't the smartest thing to do with his controversial past. You are literally putting light on your issues. Sometimes art itself can't spare it's artiest.… Expand

And I'm quite disappointed because this one looked promising.… Expand

This reasonibily considered a minor movie by Allen. The screenplay is not as solid as usual. An easibily forgettable movie.
