Allen's love letter to the movies; in just under 80 minutes, Woody is able to communicate the magic and emotional power that movies are able to convey, and their ability to brighten up our days when real life seems like a chore. Jeff Daniels is pitch-perfect as both Tom, the explorer-from-the-screen, and Gil, his more flawed human counterpart. You won't see many better double-performances. Creative and wholly original, and perfect on an emotional level.

I love the way it contrasts reality and fiction with an absolutely charming love story. The comedy is wonderful and Farrow channels Woody Allen perfectly. I thought it lost a little steam towards the end but the ending itself is great and lifts the film back up, a perfect wrap up of the film's meditations.

This is much more "high concept" than any other Allen I've seen, if I'm using that term correctly. It's got the kind of premise that makes you say "oh, that could be interesting", and then the movie ends up being just about what you expected it to be. That's okay, though, 'cause it's well-made, and the premise IS really clever. There's also one part where the movie doesn't go in the direction you probably expected, and that's the ending, which I personally liked a lot.

one of the more whimsical woody allen movies, even though it doesn't really have his trademark stamp on it, it is wholly entertaining, with only light humor. danny aiello--even though a scoundrel--is at top form, as well are the other players, i was exceptionally impressed by jeff daniels. the biggest, actually only, faults of this movie are that woody allen didn't make the ending a feel-good one, and that he didn't give a top notch writing performance.

An unusual Woody Allen film about what it means to get lost in the movies, and what are the consequences of escaping from them. This is one of Mia Farrow's best performances, and Jeffy Daniels and Danny Aiello are also very good here. Also, I like the surprisingly downbeat ending.

Decades since I saw this ode to both the magic of the dream factory and the necessity of refusing to succumb completely to its charms, no matter how depressing and depressed the surrounding world might seem to be. Apparently, it is Woody Allen’s favourite Woody Allen film.

Life is not like in the movies. But movies make us really dream with a wonderful, joyful and lovely life. And that's all that matters. The way Woody Allen uses filmmaking to talk about the movie-watching experience is pure, passionate and charming.

A great film that doesn't get lost in its nostalgic fantasy. Terrific emotional core through naive Cecilia. The initial execution of Tom coming out of the screen is awkward but it's handled with such odd amusement afterward that it works. Some of the best scenes are when the characters question the meaning of existence and their banter with audience. It has a bleak streak to it that helps its footing in reality as the mutual escapes experienced by Cecilia and Tom are futile and temporary.

Allen takes a seemingly simple concept and makes it his own. It contains all the hopeless abandon of the movies, while at the same time grounding us in what reality is and will always be. Jeff Daniels doesn't get enough credit for this.

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.

What a blast. This is the most imaginative Woody Allen film I've seen. The romance is touching and realistically complicated (even if one of the characters involved is supposed to be fictional), but there are plenty of comedic touches throughout to keep it light-hearted. The art direction is wonderful as well, with a very convincing Depression-era setting. Jeff Daniels is also notable.

I'm sure I was supposed to be focusing on the character out in the real world but I was far more interested in the movie (within the movie) without the character. I like the idea of a story missing a character that for once isn't Bunny Lake.

A one-joke movie. This isn't uncommon for Allen, but unfortunately the joke just isn't that funny. Mia Farrow continues to churn out boring, idiotic heroines, albeit 20 years after it worked to her advantage.

Superficially clever and somewhat entertaining, but the effectiveness of the central conceit ultimately suffers from the overall pervasive (intentional?) flatness of the "real" world Allen creates for Daniels' "fictional" character to escape into, a world just as cliched and one-dimensionally stereotyped as any 1930s comedy (and a lot less funny and clever than one at that). Also could Daniels be any less convincing as a '30s comedic actor?

Charming, heart-warming, depressing--this film is all of these things in the space of 80 minutes. 'Life isn't like it is in the movies;' remember that. Or don't! Allow yourself to daydream. Films are the ultimate escape from the mundane. There is much to love about this masterpiece of storytelling that occupies so little time, but in the end it may be analyzing the viewer and our increasing obsession (immersion) with art even more than we realize. Like Tom/Gil, this film is two things at once.

I love movies with peculiar plot devices. Allen did a good job writing this, and made a genuinely good existential piece (I'm not sure if it was on purpose). A good blend of fantasy and cold realism really made me connect with this movie. The ending always leaves me a bit heart broken, but that is part of the beauty of tragedy, I suppose.

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.

This is a pretty cute movie. Mia Farrow and Jeff Daniels are nice enough together, and the story's a fun idea. It's far from the strongest Woody Allen film I've seen, but it's very likable. It reminded me a lot of his more recent film, Midnight in Paris (2011), just in the way that they both explore the romanticising of things and whether it's a good thing or not. I was kind of confused where Allen landed on that in this one though.

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.

Woody Allen's benign love-letter to the movies reveals a gentler side of the cunning filmmaker, albeit one that is sadly less interesting. There are definitely some lovely moments to treasure but, overall, the premise is too silly, the jokes are only funny in a "childish" sort of way and, despite the old-fashioned charm, I was left with a feeling of dissatisfaction. More than any other Allen film, this one left me staring at the screen, with only a mild sense of amusement, thinking: "so what?"

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".

One of those "concept is joke" movies which I don't like if they can't wrap any other comedy around it, which this film doesn't. But the concept is pretty nifty and executed, for the most part, effectively. It's more amusing than funny, but there's nothing amusing about that heart-dropping ending. What the hell?!

Might be Woody's most beautiful film. Simultaneously a nostalgic love letter to the movies and a sad, tender portrayal of the Depression.

"The Purple Rose Of Cairo", one of Allen's best films, is a gorgeous romantic comedy that features two charming leads (the wonderful Mia Farrow and a very good, pre-"Dumb & Dumber" Jeff Daniels), excellent music and great jokes. A lovely film - that sort of movie that generates feelings of affection inside you.

Funny, charming, and delightfully odd. I liked how this movie completely owned its fantastical concept; rather than making excuses for the improbability of it all, the movie goes all-in and even gets some great laughs from it. The story itself is rather simple but told in an engaging way, with good performances and a high pacing that doesn't drag for a second.

An odd-duck in Allen's 80s filmography, for better or worse depending on your stance towards his more characteristic work. A deeply thoughtful love-letter to the enchantment of cinema, despite its corny romantic surface. The lovey-dovey dialogue I can live with, but I've never seen such bland, typical characterizations in an Allen film from this era. One can argue that it augments the fable-like quality of the film, but I don't know maybe it's just not my thing.

Den morsomste Allen-filmen jeg har sett, men ikke helt der oppe med Annie Hall og Crimes and Misdemeanors. Original vri på et klassisk plott, og jeg likte spesielt godt scenene med skuespillerne som var igjen i filmen. Jeg setter også pris på den usentimentale slutten, en avslutning jeg mener løfter filmen langt over de fleste andre i denne type film.

Seemed to really speak to my father, who grew up in a Jewish ghetto during the Depression in the US and for whom movies were clearly an important escape, notably musicals, especially Fred Astaire. And he approved of the less than joyful conclusion in which escapism is more-or-less rejected, because in the other direction "lies madness", as he put it. No amount of movie magic could free him from rickets.

I'm sure I'm in the minority here, but the shallow admiration of Hollywood acting and glam made me slightly nauseous. Maybe I just don't like Jeff Daniels. Ironically, I felt the scenes with Danny Aiello were the strongest. They blended tragedy and comedy effortlessly, leaving the rest of the movie feeling postured. Great concept, and it redeemed itself in the end.

It shouldn't work, but it does. The movie just charms you into liking it. It's really fun and doesn't have your usual annoying Woody Allen character for those of you that hate that (which is me). The romance would probably make this a great date movie. The best part of it all is the ending, please stick around until the very end if you remotely like the beginning, it really upped my opinion of the movie. Recommended for Woody Allen fans and non-Woody Allen fans alike.

Excellent piece of writing. During the short 90 minutes Allen managed to explore numerous layers of social life, art and studio system structure.

Reminded me of Manhattan. You hop on an escapistic ride, borderline boring, and then find your heart wrecked in the last act... Woody Allen and Mia Farrow swell up to the tragic proportions of Fellini and Julietta Messina.

Yes, the last scene is one of the greatests celebrations of the power of cinema ever, but otherwise the script is extremely self-satisfied and not half as smart as it think it is. On top of that the meta-elements feel forced and wasted.

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.

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

A movie light, naive and romantic by Allen. I definitely prefer your movies more sarcastic and dynamic. But it's not bad, has its charm.
