Directed by Woody Allen2008 Romantic Comedy/Drama
Rated PG-13
**** 1/2
I have been waiting and waiting for Woody Allen to make another film that was more than just good. The closest I think he's come since his last great film, Crimes and Misdemeanors, was with 2005's Match Point. And I think with Vicky Cristina Barcelona, he has done it. Great dialogue, great acting, beautiful cinematography (due much in part to the beauty of Spain) and a wonderful Spanish guitar score all add to the warm feeling this film gives you. Though I must say Scarlett Johansson looks completely out of her league with Bardem, Cruz and even relative newcomer Rebecca Hall, whose wonderful collection of facial expressions absolutely make her performance.
