My Seventeen Year Old Daughter's Review of This Film
This has long been my favorite Woody Allen film, and I showed it to my seventeen year old daughter for the first time the other day. She was clearly enjoying it and paying close attention (when I had to do something like get the laundry to fold it I didn't pause the film so as not to break up the flow for her).
When I asked her at the end (which always makes me cry, by the way) what she thought of it, she said that she thought it was really good and then she said this: "I've never seen a film that the music was so important in, unless it was a musical." And I knew just what she meant - Woody Allen does a great job in using the music to set or accentuate the mood of various scenes.
Just thought I'd share that with all you good people out there!
