Winslet is good here, and Belushi is decent. Timberlake, whom I've liked in several of his previous roles, is not. Everything about the film is too big or too much (including the lighting), but it sort of works.

Woody has broken me down. I don't think this is considerably worse than his last few but my interest in his films has just about totally eroded. Props to Storaro for trying to breathe some Sirkian life into the story and to Winslet for trying to do the same even if she can do this kind of performance in her sleep. But I just don't care anymore. This makes me greater appreciate people like Scorsese who actually try to adapt or evolve their style over the decades in order to stay relevant.

Reaching great-grandpa age ol’ Woody still has a few interesting observations on self-destructiveness and jealousy and the hopeless pit of being trapped. The movie’s whimsical settings and music definitely belie a pretty grim story - I wouldn’t call it a fun watch by any means. Interesting, though. Juno Temple is luminous. And David Krumholtz, WHAT THE FUCK, dude looks like he’s gained 100 lbs! He looks like Jeff fucking Garlin! Personal trainer, David, stat!!

Kate Winslet was great, can't say the same for the script.

Woody Allen is the most intolerable filmmaker of a generation. I can't tell if this is a serious drama or a black comedy. This movie has some nice staging though.

Kate Winslet was incredible and convincing. James Belushi and Juno Temple were also good. Justin Timerlake, was not great. The plot and dialog was not very convincing and occasionally tedious. An otherwise unremarkable movie is mostly redeemed by a tour de force performance from Kate Winslet.
