Cassandra's Dream (2008)

The writing is terrific as are the performances by Colin Farrell and Ewan McGregor who play brothers with dreams beyond their means.

This is Colin Farrell's best work in years and proof that Woody Allen is an old dog, and these are new tricks.

Every Woody Allen movie becomes an occasion to discuss what went wrong with Woody Allen movies. My own theory is that Allen simply became too efficient at getting his movies made %u2014 he works quickly and cheaply and he never has to convince his backers

Woody Allen vuelve sobre ciertos temas de algunas de sus mejores obras (Crímenes y Pecados, Match Point), pero esta vez sin una gran historia que los sustente.

Taken for what it is, and without hoping for another Match Point or Crimes and Misdemeanors, Cassandra's Dream is a fine genre film that succeeds at what it attempts, even if it doesn't attempt all that much.

CASSANDRA'S DREAM is a slow moving character thriller, that isn't always surprising, but for me was very involving. Woody has done it again!

There is an effortless artistry in this film that may have deceived many. It looks like a trifle but it packs a punch.

Two years after Match Point, Allen delivers another London-set murder melodrama, with diminishing returns. [DVD]

The film stumbles in its convenient, obvious plot turns, even if much of this is meaningfully thought-provoking.

Farrell and McGregor try their best to infuse their shallow characters with potent dramatic spunk, but it's basically Allen's typical neurotic hand-wringing nerds with tacked-on British accents.

While Allen's Match Point was an interesting switching of gears ... his new mantle of Patricia Highsmith-esque crime chronicler is wearing thin as well.

Allen comes to the nature of God's omnipresence so often, without varying on either his question or his answers, that his films have increasingly become copies of earlier works, degrading in quality further and further from the original with each successi

Cassandra's Dream is not a top-notch Woody Allen film, but this dark drama is a worthy addition to the director's career-long search for meaning in a world where randomness and cruelty often reign.

For those who remember [his Allen's classic films] Cassandra's Dream seems like the work of an imposter.

Like Match Point, [it] seems very sharp and focused; for better or worse, it lacks the tangents that both lightened up and diffused the tone in Scoop. That also means that there's not a moment of humor in it.

Cassandra's Dream is second-rate Allen, but it's still compelling thanks to its magnetic co-stars.

It's not completely awful. But it lacks the necessary suspense and the only thing that really holds it together are the performances.
