9/10
Involving tense funny and original

For those who like 'Match Point' which I feel is a masterpiece, this is a more comic but equally interesting movie. The tone and music are more comical and light hearted but it's really quite nail biting when things come together.

Joaquin acts like a depressed person like no one else can and he's very suited to the role of the professor, pot belly and all. Parker Posey is quite hilarious as the colleague who throws herself at him. Emma Stone looks less bulgy eyed and clever than usual. The way she chooses the wrong guy over a good boyfriend is quite real.

Like the coastal setting, more natural and outdoors than usual for Woody Allen.

There have been some negative reviews from critics but I don't understand why. This movie is original, funny, exciting and you care for the characters and listen to the dialog.
