Irrational Man Reviews
Detroit News
Tom Long
At the age of 79, Woody Allen is still a formidable filmmaker ("Blue Jasmine" was just two years ago). But he is also, inevitably, Woody Allen.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
It works, more or less; the three central actors are all terrific, particularly Posey, who finds something vulnerable and touching in Rita. But you watch it thinking of other, better Allen movies ...
Miami Herald
Rene Rodriguez
Taken on its own, as a stand-alone dark comedy about existential angst, Irrational Man is a wobbly enterprise. But view it in context, as a Woody Allen film, and the plot thickens.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
After a late wobble or two, Irrational Man packs a final, farcical punch that feels just right.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Calvin Wilson
Spending time with "Irrational Man" would not be an irrational choice.
Boston Globe
Peter Keough
In the end, this feeble effort remains tainted, however unfairly, by the creator's personal life. Maybe Allen should have titled it "Rationalizing Man."
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
Were it not for Stone's chipperness as Jill, the film, smoothly directed as it is, would be a real slog.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Woody Allen generates films with such rapidity and inconsistency that you can never be certain if this season's offering will be a hit or a miss. I'm happy to report that Irrational Man is a delight.
Movie Mezzanine
Tomris Laffly
A pretty engaging drama with passable comedic moments and a redeeming ending.
Flavorwire
Jason Bailey
It's a picture so dire, its problems so base and elementary, that I'm honestly not sure Allen still has good ones in him.
The Atlantic
Sophie Gilbert
Irrational Man is turgid to the point of ridiculousness and absurdly anachronistic ...
leonardmaltin.com
Leonard Maltin
A mostly satisfying narrative that benefits from the gifted ensemble of players...
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
Allen is no dummy, but he is also not his own best editor or critic. The tone here is all over the place.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
In his 60s stand-up act, Allen joked that he once cheated on a metaphysics exam by looking within the soul of the student sitting next to him; 50 years later he's still at it.
San Diego Reader
Matthew Lickona
Woody Allen at his most exhausted and self-parodying.
Entertainment Weekly
Chris Nashawaty
Woody Allen has always repeated the same handful of themes in his films, but now even his repetitions are getting repetitious.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
Allen builds to a climax that is ridiculous and a comment on ... I don't know. Fate? Folly? There are plenty of both in "Irrational Man," but they're not often a comfortable mix.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
That "Irrational Man" is a sophomoric simulacrum of intellectual discourse reflects the self-deception at the movie's core.
Grantland
Wesley Morris
This is another of Allen's films in which characters advance positions rather than embody them. Very little is allowed to be lastingly funny or suspenseful, and the positions themselves don't feel close to the truth.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
The plotting is graceless and the dialogue ham-fisted.
