Edna always said Zelig was Woody’s worst film. Edna was wrong. Compared to Match Point, Zelig is a work of genius and funnier than cholera. Match Point was (and is and always will be) truly a dog of the doggiest type. Wooden dialogue, wooden plot, woodier than woody. Is it supposed to be funny or is it supposed to be taken seriously or is it just a load of shite from someone who has totally run out of ideas? The odd thing is that it is very well filmed and edited. It’s just the unrealistic and stilted dialogue and the dreary and unrealistic plot. Oh yes, and the totally wooden acting – clearly Woody didn’t know how to direct English actors. They appear like English actors pretending to be American actors pretending to be the sort of English characters Americans who have never met an English person imagine they must be. And reading from autocue as well.
