Review of An Irrational Man

Interesting film but no more than that. Woody Allen writes really good dialog, not just in itself but in the sense of dialog that moves the film along. My partner took exception to Joaquin’s prosthetic belly. I can’t say I noticed. 


Woody Allen is a very functional film-maker nowadays, though I found some of the focusing of his shots rather odd. He doesn’t use the very wide aperture look (which is good cos I really don’t like it - most of the time it’s style over substance) but he often leaves most of the screen just a bit out of focus. Unfortunately, if it’s not immediately obvious where the point of focus should be, it makes it look like a mistake
