    Magic in the Moonlight

    Reviewed by

    I had a certain apprehension at seeing Woody Allen’s 50th film after reading a number of reviews, but I went anyway. After all, it’s Woody Allen! He who made his mark in the 70’s with hilarious comedies that cultimated in masterpieces at the turn of the 80’s. Today, at the sunset of his life and career, he brings us delightful little romantic comedies with the Allen-esque cocktail made of scepticism, existentialism, desire and something that may resemble love. This film is good, even very good. The story is tightly wound with quite an unexpected twist. The rendering of Europe of the 20’s is seamless and the scenery is simply beautiful. The dialogues are intelligent and mature with an underlining comical track which makes us smile quite easily. Long gone are Woody’s rollercoaster of belly laughs. The only annoyance I could find is the unlikeliness of Stone and Firth relationship because of a 28 year difference in their ages. But when the scriptwriter/director himself hooked up with his ex’s daughter-in-law, should we be surprised? Emma Stone is simply delightful in her role and Firth is efficient. The supporting cast is colorful too.
