Austin Chronicle
Thoroughly fascinating and is must-see viewing for any Woody Allen fan. Barbara Kopple, on the other hand, should get back to pointing her lens at more significant social phenomena.

Whatever one thinks about Woody Allen, you'll probably find it in here, except why Americans don't much turn out to see his movies.

The high-profile nightmare of his debacle with Mia Farrow seems to have settled into a Woody Allen movie of the more genial kind.
[Kopple's] made a greatly enjoyable film, but you can't help wondering if she's fallen under her subject's spell.
