Celebrity

As someone who is mildly interested in Woody Allen's work but not bowled over this does appear to be one of his stronger suits. You are never meant to like the characters, never meant to feel what they are feeling. Everyone is focused on success, relationships, and of course celebrity. Allen offers insightful glimpses into different pockets of life for just long enough to learn about the people. Some drift in and out more than others so you're left never knowing if you will see certain people again. A lot like life. Even if Allen's work occassionally fails to pull you in this one is worth watching as one of his stronger suits.
