Definitely top-tier Woody Allen. The writing, acting and directing are first-rate, as he finishes off another of his artistic purple patches. I'm not an Alan Alda fan in the slightest simply because he's so good at this slimy, know-it-all persona that he once again carries off so effortlessly here. ... An essential watch for all cinephiles, and worth a purchase and rewatches for Woody Allen enthusiasts.
