This is typical Woody Allen: light and lighthearted, with just a touch of bitterness, a smile now and then.....that's all you get from the movie, enjoyable but totally forgettable; as many of Allen's movies, it leaves you with nothing. Café Society, with Storaro's help, looks very slick, every image is studied and polished with obsessive care, almost manneristic, and it falls often times into affectation. What keeps up the movie are the decent performances by the strong cast, and the as usually good dialogues. As a last remark: I found rather annoying having a narrator as voice over all along the movie, which by the way was rather unnecessary.

I watched this more out of curiosity more than anything else and found it surprisingly good. I was surprised since Woody Allen was 80-years-old when this came out in 2016. It's rare to do such fine work in any artistic endeavor at such an advanced age. Of course the opportunity to direct Kristen Stewart was no doubt an incentive. It could be that Woody wrote this years ago and only decided to turn it into a movie when he got the very talented Vittorio Storaro to do the cinematography. The co-incidence of uncle and nephew (unbeknownst to either one of them) falling in love with the same woman Vonnie (Stewart) was handled skillfully, especially the sequence of events that led to first Phil Stern (Steve Carell) and then Bobby (Jesse Eisenberg ) discovering their surprising rival. In addition to this being a beautiful film with a lot of pleasing 1930's era atmosphere it is also very cleanly directed by the old master. There is no clutter, virtually everything in the plot is necessary and I was pleased with the realistic treatment of love sadly lost, and then the possibility of it being rekindled as an illicit affair, and then Well, I won't say. See the movie. It's definitely worth watching. One more thing: Kristen Stewart at 26 was as pretty as pretty can be. --Dennis Littrell, author of the movie review book, "Cut to the Chaise Lounge or I Can't Believe I Swallowed the Remote"

If I could rate it lower than one I would Woody Allen has been saying the something with different cast since Crimes and Misdemeanors in 1989 enough already. how much happiness is enough happiness, nothing is ever good enough plot. same old plot, different actors. was poorly made. He has made Match point all over again only this time with a really mediocre group of actors, specially Kristen Stewart. she is uncomfortable and empty in her own skin. Vonnie is suppose to be this down to earth but beautiful goddess whom is unaware of her loveliness, Kristen Stewart fails miserably in doing both. I have been disappointed in Mr. Allen for a while since Match Point to be honest but this was the final straw, he needs to find a new thing to talk about. i think he has over done this plot and needs to move on.
