The potential this love-triangle film builds during the first forty-five minutes churns into plodding turmoil that goes on too long. While Woody Allen’s characters don’t take the easy way out, it sure feels as though he did; the film takes a startling and disturbing turn, but one that ultimately feels very familiar. Still, it’s great to see Woody Allen making movies, instead of movies about movies. C+.
