Cassandra's Dream Reviews
I.E. Weekly
Amy Nicholson
McGregor and Farrell deepen this slight thriller into a film that feels almost grandly philosophical, even though you know that when the lights come on, the spell will break
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Allen is notorious for not giving his actors explicit instructions, and yet somehow this worked wonders for Farrell, who has never seemed so naked, so clear and so unencumbered as he does here.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
The problem is, you don't feel the human sweat and strain in Cassandra's Dream, despite game work from Farrell and McGregor. There are plenty of ideas and themes and no people of distinctive interest to enliven them.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Allen, who stays behind the camera, brings too little wit and too much contrivance to material that quickly dissolves into warmed-over Dostoevski.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
[Delivers] a sharply effective jolt of unease. It's a pulp story pinned to the screen with an ice pick of conscience in a manner that would have pleased Allen's idol, Ingmar Bergman.
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
A dreary tale of two loser brothers who agree to become assassins in exchange for financial help from their corrupt uncle.
Miami Herald
Rene Rodriguez
[The film] forces its characters to ask themselves what they are able to live with and how far they are willing to go to attain personal happiness. It's a worthwhile theme, except Allen has explored it before, in an infinitely more engrossing manner.
MSNBC
Alonso Duralde
While Allen's Match Point was an interesting switching of gears ... his new mantle of Patricia Highsmith-esque crime chronicler is wearing thin as well.
Austin Chronicle
Josh Rosenblatt
At this point, I guess we should just applaud Allen for his work ethic.
Slate
Dana Stevens
These characters not only don't talk like working-class Londoners, they don't talk like anyone.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
Although McGregor and Farrell produce some occasionally spirited moments, particularly in the earlier scenes, they are little more than walking and talking schemes, their choices based entirely on socioeconomic impulses.
Film.com
Jonathan F. Richards
There are shivers of humor from time to time, but the mask in place here is the mask of tragedy.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
After making his best and smoothest drama (Match Point) in England, Woody Allen returns there for one of his most clueless and awkward.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
There's still some snap in Woody's writing, and still some sharpness to his black humor.
Salon.com
Stephanie Zacharek
This isn't filmmaking; it's thesis defending.
Dallas Morning News
Chris Vognar
Funny thing about tragedy: It loses its heft when it has to keep reminding us how tragic it is. It's hard to cozy up to a script that feels the need to toss in casual references to fate and Aristotle. Yo, we get it already. They're doomed.
Houston Chronicle
Amy Biancolli
If Frida Kahlo can paint 55 self-portraits, Woody Allen can make several versions of the same movie. It's only fair.
Orlando Sentinel
Roger Moore
If all [Woody Allen] is going to do is grind out weak, Brit-accented genre pieces that pay homage to 1940s and '50s melodramas, he shouldn't waste the frequent-flier miles.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
Allen has often been intrigued by the convolutions an ordinary person undergoes when faced with becoming a murderer.
Detroit News
Tom Long
There's a deceptive simplicity to Woody Allen's Cassandra's Dream, a directness and clarity that's too rare in modern filmmaking.
