Woody Adjacent - Tom O’Brien, Katherine Waterston & Caitlin FitzGerald - Manhattan Romance (2014)

Welcome back to the Woody Allen Retrospective Podcast for another episode of Woody Allen Adjacent!

 

On this adjacent episode we take a reddit recommendation for a movie that looks and sounds very much like films Woody has made in the past.. in fact, this may very well be a 'homage' to such Woody Allen movies: Manhattan and or Annie Hall!

 

However... upon watching..  it became clear to us this might just be one of the most disappointing, perplexing and just poor adjacent type films we have ever seen, putting adjacent aside, its generally a terrible film in the genre of romantic comedies  

 

We are by no means film experts but as fans of the genre that have seen and discussed MANY films of this ilk, its quite astounding to see just how bad this one was to watch.

 

We don't believe we have been this critical since our very first adjacent discussion on Lous CK's 'I Love You Daddy'

 

Let us give praise where it is due thought - props to Scott Miller who was Director of Photography, the visual presentation is actually decent....
