Sometimes I like Woody Allen films and sometimes I don't. I'd have to say Annie Hall is one of his best earlier films. In the last few years, he's really changed his style when it comes to movies. This movie and Matchpoint have a certain maturity to it, and it is possible that its because Allen doesn't act in either of them. Suffice to say, it removes his neurotic, narcissistic sex fiend self out of the film. Back to this... I just loved this. There were few people after the movie whom I overheard that didn't like it or didn't get it. One of the two or both. This movie has a true realism of personal human condition where even after new experiences in life, the person doesn't change their core being into who the viewer thinks they should become. It was witty, charming, shocking, cultured as always and the European flare really made the characters stand out on their own. This is a must see for anyone who loves Woody Allen. He justs gets better and better. The role of Cristina was obviously made for Scarlett Johansson. I wonder what it would be like to be the muse inspiring a very worldly famous director/writer.
