Good idea, bad executed

McGregor's acting was fair but Farrell was mediocre. I am Allen's fan but not all of his work is memorable. In this case is a mediocre film. Actually, the plot is quite interesting but, from my perspective, not well handled. The... Full review

Woody Allen always attemps to make bizarre films. Even though there was pretty good acting in this film, the directing was real mediocre. And I am no Woody Allen fan, just because of the fact that he makes weird/disturbing/dumb films. I... Full review

While I liked Scoop and tolerated Match Point.. i feel Woody is out of his orbit with the characters and place in this movie.. This has been done a few times before in Allen's earlier movies to a better outcome, but... Full review

Cassandra's Dream is squirm-inducing, not only for the "don't do it" quotient, but because the story turns on a dramatic point flimsier - from a moral perspective - than many filmgoers may be prepared to swallow. Things are scarcely better when Ian meets a glamorous, admittedly ambitious and self-absorbed actress (Hayley Atwell), who fits his idea of upward mobility. ... Full Review

Vicky - who comes from the Jessica Harper school of Allen heroines - is level-headed and soon to be married. Woody Allen 's films always go through the usual scoring: His best since X, worst since Y, funniest since Z. It's not unfair - the prolific New York filmmaker has always been consistent with his themes and obsessions. ... Full Review
