Match Point / UK / 2005
I started to compliment Allen with the thought that at least this was better than Melinda & Melinda and everything else he’s done in the past five years or so. Then I decided that even with that kind of backhanded compliment this film was irritating and still a disappointment. Predictable, far too reminiscent of Crimes & Misdemeanors (not even one of my favorite Allen films), and misogynistic. Do we have to keep having it pounded into our heads that Woody Allen has severe issues with conception? Poor ScarJo’s character turns on a dime into a whiny and needy woman all because of pregnancy, while at the start of the film she seemed to at least have a femme fatale’s sense of self reliance and self preservation. Yes, how disturbing that sometimes fate blows the right way for the wrong people. That’s why the wealthy apparently get away with murder and amazing real estate.
