Simone Navarotti The movie had the typical expected rhythm of a Woody Allen movie. Jessie Eisenberg=a boring, unattractive, hunchbacked waste of space. I couldn't feel any connection with ANY the players, even though one of my favorite actresses (Parker Posey) was in this film. She played her role well enough as she usually does. But the movie just seemed to be a cheap rip off of other movies, including some earlier (better) Woody Allen movies. It wasn't funny. It wasn't suspenseful. It wasn't compelling. It was a long. I got bored of looking at Kristen Stewart pointy chin, and inexpressive face. The movie had very little charm and didn't tell a great story. Would not recommend it to anyone. But if it helps, it was also largely predictable.

Tim Kerr-Thomson This is the same as every other Woody Allen movie. Even the central character, played by Eisenberg, is a young neurotic jewish man. Eisenberg's portrayal of this role is as if he has just cloned Woody Allen, which I found very annoying.

fionadp Cafe Society is a term used to describe an elite (shallow) group of wealthy and/or famous people who participate in social activities that are unreachable to ordinary people. This film mainly centers around (1) early Hollywood and (2) the main character's dysfunctional family.The leading actor is not a convincing innocent & all the characters have a debased & distorted view of personal morality.Unfortunately this movie provides clear evidence of anti-Christian bias on the part of the filmmakers.The mockery & derision of Christianity seems to be the prevalent norm among films being released by Hollywood,there are virtually no films with positive Christian portrayals.The protagonists brother Ben commits a murder and is given a sentence of capital punishment for his crimes,he converts to Christianity for its promise of an everlasting life after death. In the scene where the characters are discussing his decision and the concept of heaven, his Jewish mother states: "First a murderer then a Christian? What did I do to deserve this"Blasphemous Posturing & Hostility Masquerading As Humour. The film industry in the USA have normalized what was once considered deviant and are defining as deviant what was once considered normal.Lower standards and moral relativism are promoted by movies like this. Deviant and normal have officially swapped places when it is acceptable humour to put Christians on a par with murderers

FrouFrouFoxes This movie was terrible. Cardboard acting. Stilted dialogue. Unbelievable emotional dynamics forced by the plot. Characters and plot you don't care about. Annoying narration. I admit that even the very best Woody Allen movies only strike me as "ok", but this is an awful movie riding on legacy and betting on fans declaring the emperor's new clothes are genius. It did look sorta pretty....that's it.
