A slightly tumultuous beginning met with an equally discordant end. I love Allen simply for his sense of timing; he plays a steady, unyielding crescendo. It's impeccable. Johansson kept the film within comfortable reach of the love stories we've come to know from Allen. Truth be told, they were the only two pieces of the film I found attractive. Certainly one of the better Romactic/Dramas of the decade. (III/V)

Except for the ghost scene, it is one of the best movies I have ever seen. A traditional and conservative directorial style for a totally crazy idea against all of that. 1- Crime pays. 2- There is something called "The Perfect Crime." 3- A baby is born at the end. Woody! you are sick, man :D

I give you three stars, Match Point, for killing Scarlett Johansson and getting away with it.

Really overrated. I think the main reason this movie bugs me is because the main character is completely unlikable. Allen told a similar story in "Crimes and Misdemeanors" and that film was much, much better.

This film would have not been as good as it is without the opera; I think it's a different aspect of Woody's movies, ingenious and great, and without abandoning his usual topics.

One of the crowning glories of the decade. Justified by strong performances from the highly talented cast, great direction from Woody Allen and an ingenious and exhilarating plot. This truly is a masterpiece, and an instant favourite.

Do you ever watch a movie and then it ends and you're just rolling around on the floor like "OHMYGOD" because it was SO good and you want to watch it over again RIGHT THEN and all you can do is talk about it for the next 3 days? Um that's what happened with me and this movie.

i really enjoyed this despite the drabness of the two leads, Rhys Meyers and Johanssen. sure, they are pretty, but oftentimes they lack something that makes people interesting. this is a film that introduced me to classic opera music. viva la caruso!

Everyone please stop casting Scarlett Johansson! Watching her act is brutal.

It is everything the typical Woody Allen film isn't; it shouldn't work, but it does.

Some very good performances in this, unfortunately Jonathan Rhys Meyers' is not one of them.

..."You never have sex the way people do in the movies. You don't do it on the floor, you don't do it standing up, you don't always have all your clothes off, you don't happen to have on all the sexy lingerie. You know, if anybody ever ripped my clothes, I'd kill them."

...Like in Husbands and Wives (1992) where his character describes a passionate affair he once had with a woman half his age, and how, during sex, she liked to snort drugs at climax. The scene in this film where Meyers rips Johansson's top reminds me of this Julianne Moore quote...

I love Woody Allen, and this was better than I expected. I can forgive the poorly written dialogue for the sake of art -- being English this particularly irritated me. But what's with the awkward sex scenes? To me, this is another example of Woody's creepy fantasies surfacing in his films...

An excellent film that puts Allen back in top form. A witty script with twists and turns that have you looking back and forth and around. Meyers is excellent and truly embodies one of Allen's most interesteing characters to grace the screen in one of his films. Truly deserving of its academy award nimonation for Best Original Screenplay(although it touches on some themes that Allen has treaded before).

This was fucking great. An incredible questioning of love & lust. One of Allen's best.
