Movie Reviews of September
Movie Review: Nice enough but we've seen it before
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a fine ensemble cast, in the closed setting of a Vermont country house--we never even see the outdoors. The music is appropriately downbeat, as is the rainy weather that dominates much of the story. However, if you've seen Another Woman or Interiors, you have already seen this type of story, so it is nothing new and is inferior to them.Movie Review: WOODY'S WORST!
Summary: 2 Stars
I am the happy owner of ALL Woody Allen's films on DVD that are currently available. I am also a fan of his dramatic work, particularly the under-rated and underappreciated "Interiors" and "Another Woman.""September" is not only one of the worst of his career, but one of the worst films I've ever endured. It is rather BEAUTIFULLY ACTED, with some CLEVER LINES interspersed (hence the two stars I granted it), but it's mostly MELODRAMATIC SLOP. And that CLAUSTROPHOBIC feel you may have read about previously: Absolutely true! Despite constant references to how "beautiful" the scenery is, the blinds are always closed day and night (this is because the film was shot entirely on a soundstage with no artifical backdrops).
I wanted to write this to warn other Woody Allen fans who may wish to experiment -- DO YOURSELF A FAVOR: NOT WITH THIS ONE!
... inexplicably, "September" (and the equally inept "Shadows and Fog") was released on DVD prior to "Hannah and her Sisters" and "Husbands and Wives," two masterpieces in my opinion.
Movie Review: bored to tears...
Summary: 2 Stars
1st things 1st...I love Woody's films and consider myself a true fan but after several re writes, scraping almost the entire film, re casting almost every role I found this film completly boring and just too claustrophobic...
