The whole thing may seem patently ludicrous but it’s done with distinct artistic finesse, set to a furious, insidious visual rhythm in it’s bold, decisive, and intuitive editing.
-
Allen brings the whole TV-series self-consciousness bit home in the final minutes of the last episode, but he needn’t have worried. The fact that he hasn’t spent the past half-century trying to remake “My Mother the Car” enables him to simply adapt what he does best for the so-called small screen. And it’s a good fit. The performances are winning, with wonderful cameo contributions.
-
Crisis is not Allen at his peak, nor at his most serious and contemplative as an artist. Crisis is a bauble, a light comedy that starts very slowly (consider that another caution) and builds to a satisfyingly funny conclusion.
-
This isn’t Allen at his wittiest or wildest--his career is almost by definition a thing of peaks and valleys, and he can be satisfying and frustrating within a single film. But he has a voice, and he has not yet lost it. Anyone susceptible to that sensibility will find many familiar pleasures here.
