A delightful film in which Allen embraces his love for movies and the power of film to comfort us (i.e. a means of escape). This is Allen romanticising cinema. Through the charming performances of Daniels and Farrow, we are plunged into a highly satisfying exploration of the relationship between the screen world and the world of the viewer. Contains my favourite Allen film line: "I just met a wonderful new man, he's fictional but you can't have everything".

A great idea turned into a lovely little movie about movies. And of course it's very funny.

Appealing premise, but a dull movie overall, despite a couple of magical scenes.

I propably would've felt the ending heartbreakingly great, had I been more involved with the characters and more swept away by the mischievous romance of this classic. But perhaps The Purple Rose of Cairo isn't for me.

Wickedly creative in its depiction of a romance that consciously interacts with the very concept of what we think the ideal movie romance is. Loved the dreary monotone Depression-era backdrop interacting with a vision of the perfect romance (compare this to say La La Land which goes the other way in breaking down a perfect relationship but in a romanticized colorful world). I didn't know Jeff Daniels had that performance in him, damn.

A wonderful, dreamy tribute to cinema and nostalgia that is clever, romantic, funny and sad by turns at all the right moments. Zips by very fast, the screenplay anticipating your questions (“How does the actor who played this character factor into this?” Etc.) and answers them as quick as you come up with them. The scenes set in the film-within-the-film are super clever without getting bogged down in their own cleverness. Nice cinematography, performances all the way around.

Beautifully rendered paean to cinema, this is for me Allen's most likable and enjoyable picture. The love for the movies is palpable, the scenario plays out many of the ways our imagination works relative to the characters on screen and the actors that represent them. And we see, ultimately, the way the movies can inspire us to be the kinds of people we always hoped we would be.
