Match Point movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald: Match Point has a coiled, taut energy that's unusual for Allen. Read more
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times: Match Point isn't one of his truly great films, like Annie Hall or Manhattan, but it's a very good one; a sign that a career that seemed stalled is purring along once more. Read more
Kyle Smith, New York Post: Its many pleasures derive from the way this drama unfolds unexpectedly from the characters rather than imposing itself on them. Read more
Allison Benedikt, Chicago Tribune: It's a pleasure to let the Allenisms wash over you, ever so slightly disguised in the form of a taut dramatic thriller but never diluted. Read more
Rex Reed, New York Observer: It has Woody's humor and subtlety; no British bluntness here. The acting is first-cabin all the way. And it's genuinely moving. Move it to the top of your must-see list. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: Allen has crafted one of his strongest films in years. Read more
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Match Point is Woody Allen's best picture in more than a decade -- an excellent character piece/social study that evolves into a suspense thriller with an O. Henry twist. Read more
Bill Muller, Arizona Republic: It's a film worth seeing several times. If you're lucky enough to get the chance. Read more
Ty Burr, Boston Globe: What begins as a directorial fresh start becomes a statement of misanthropy that isn't artistically insightful so much as it's resolute. Read more
Carina Chocano, Los Angeles Times: Watching Match Point, you could almost conclude that Allen is shedding some of his more calcified habits, that he's molting. Read more
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader: Allen has finally emerged as something of a storyteller and a stylist. Read more
Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle: In every scene, Allen's direction is unflinchingly clear-eyed, and it's a pleasure being walked through London at the same unhurried pace that he's taken through Manhattan all these years. Read more
Paul Clinton (CNN.com), CNN.com: This is a wonderfully provocative film with complex characters and breathless twists and turns. Read more
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor: The film is good enough that you don't feel the need for a few laughs to leaven the grimness. Read more
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post: Woody Allen's Match Point is a too-rare thing: a fine film that waxes philosophical about morality, ambition and relationships. Read more
Tom Long, Detroit News: This is Woody beyond Woody, his best work in more than a decade and the antithesis of most fans' expectations. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: To call Match Point Woody Allen's comeback would be an understatement - it's the most vital return to form for any director since Robert Altman made The Player. Read more
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press: Match Point, a film that makes us examine well-considered questions in new light, is what Woody Allen sees when he gets out of his comfort zone, we can only hope he sees the benefit of travel. Read more
Philip Wuntch, Dallas Morning News: Match Point is his best film since 1992's Husbands and Wives. Read more
Ella Taylor, L.A. Weekly: Match Point is a perfectly presentable, entirely unremarkable domestic melodrama parked queasily between opera and realism, two irreconcilable forms if ever there were. Read more
Gene Seymour, Newsday: [The film is] suffused with a Fitzgeraldian glow of bittersweet romance and ruefulness among the elite. Read more
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger: If Allen hasn't quite figured out the social landscape of England yet, he does know what he wants to talk about: Fate, or more commonly, Luck. Read more
Jami Bernard, New York Daily News: In the final analysis of Allen's career, it may turn out that moral ambiguity, not comedy, was what he did best. Read more
Andrew Sarris, New York Observer: Match Point is wittier and more coherent than anything [Woody Allen] has done in ages; it is well made and well thought out to its very last shot. Read more
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: Match Point is airless, repetitive. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: For the first time in a long time, we understand why Allen is considered a master. If this is what filming in London does for him, maybe he should move there permanently. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: Deserves to be ranked with Allen's Annie Hall, Hannah and Her Sisters, Manhattan, Crimes and Misdemeanors and Everyone Says I Love You. Read more
Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com: ... from the casting to the dialogue, "Match Point" just feels pickled in artificiality. Read more
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle: Philosophically and plotwise, it's right in line with some of his previous work. Yet Match Point breaks new ground in a handful of significant ways. Read more
Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune: The arrival of Match Point is good luck for movie fans. Read more
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail: Johansson finds her own speech rhythms in Allen's arch dialogue, and in the process, gives his film a quality that his recent work has often lacked, the recognizable flutter of a heart beat behind the facade of the character. Read more
Peter Howell, Toronto Star: ... a nifty little crowd pleaser ... Read more
TIME Magazine: Allen's sharpest film in a decade (granted, a pretty weak decade) amasses all the fixings of a sexy thriller. Read more
Time Out: There's a pleasing sense of social claustrophobia - but it's not enough to make Allen's film work. Read more
Claudia Puig, USA Today: A captivating story of class distinctions that evolves into a chilling psychological thriller. Read more
Todd McCarthy, Variety: In thematic terms, Match Point, whose tennis allusion reflects a preoccupation with the role of luck in life, comes closest to Crimes and Misdemeanors among Allen's films. Read more
Michael Atkinson, Village Voice: Crushingly humorless, Match Point also has a grade-school-simple Major Theme: At the outset, Chris's narration informs us that life is luck, and at any point we could win or lose. Whoa. Read more
Desson Thomson, Washington Post: If ever there was a case to be made for an artist finding inspiration abroad, Allen's first foray out of New York makes a powerful argument. Read more
