    Wonky accents galore in Woody’s worst ever effort, a kind of dim-witted Cockney noir that trawls the depths of cinematic awfulness. Everything’s lost at sea, from the implausible script to some insane casting decisions. Ewan McGregor and Colin Farrell, and their respective interpretations of a London accent, are almost stubbornly inadequate. Every ...

    Lovejoy shows up as a ghost. That’s all you really need to know about Scoop, an amiable fiasco that could well go down in the annals as Woody’s second most catastrophic picture. Features the sort of wacky, supernatural premise Woody may well have nailed in the 60s or 70s. But he’s too old for this baloney. Everything’s so very Radio 4, and not in a...

    Woody’s most expensive film (production budget: $26 million) is a twee period caper about two sparring colleagues who are cursed into thinking they’re a newlywed couple by a cabaret hypnotist. Not the most heinous film in the Woody catalogue, but not far off. It looks gorgeous, and the supporting cast does well (Helen Hunt rises above it all, as us...

    This astrologically dull melodrama sees two generations of the same family struggling to achieve optimum levels of matrimonial harmony. Featuring a rather strange performance from Anthony Hopkins as an ageing philanderer, YWMATDS is one of Woody’s least satisfying meditations on fate and the spirits that guide us. Naomi Watts gets to try out her Di...

    It’s the kind of irony you can see from space. That is, virtually nothing about Whatever Works actually works. The gags fall flat. The story’s a mess. Some of the editing is just plain weird. The casting of Larry David brings some inevitable Curb Your Enthusiasm-ness to the proceedings, but the film plays like Curb Lite when it should be Woody Supr...

    Woody Allen’s debut film as a director is also his most frivolous and naively experimental. He didn’t even direct it, technically speaking. Instead, Woody bought a cheapjack Japanese thriller called International Secret Police: Key of Keys, and replaced all the dialogue with an entirely new, over-dubbed script. Fitfully amusing and mercilessly zany...

    Jason Biggs (playing a young Woody type) consults his ageing mentor Woody Allen (playing an older Woody type) for dating advice. Somehow, the world doesn’t collapse into a shining ball of incredulity. Marketed as a banal, studio-grade romantic comedy, Anything Else is actually more subtle and philosophical in bent than the poster suggests. But it’s...

    The only Woody Allen picture not picked up for distribution in the UK. And while it isn’t quite the disaster the film’s lack of availability would suggest, it’s hardly a barnstormer, either. The movie is essentially an indulgent metaphor for the film-maker’s own career, like Stardust Memories but without any of the wit, wisdom or bravado. It’s awfu...

    More thin crust than deep pan. Despite a starry cast (Jesse Eisenberg! Alec Baldwin! Penelope Cruz!) this doughy love letter to Roma Capitale feels rather half-baked compared with its Parisian predecessor. Blame it on the undercooked script: cheesy coincidences abound, and the dialogue feels more dilapidated than the Colosseum itself. The cringe-wo...

    Well, the streak had to end somewhere. Ostensibly one of the director’s daftest movies, this ribald relationship romp is structurally a tribute to both Renoir and (of course) Bergman. With extra sauciness. Sadly, it doesn’t all work, despite the occasional waggish insight (‘sex alleviates tension, and love causes it’) and an assemblage of character...

    • Broadway Danny Rose – 100% According to Rotten Tomatoes, Broadway Danny Rose is Allen’s best film of all time. The film explores how complex human relationships are plus what the world of show business looks like.
    • Love and Death – 100% Love and Death, which was released in 1975, marked another collaboration between Allen and Diane Keaton. The comedy film focuses on a Russian villager Boris Grushenko (Allen) who wants to be with his cousin Sonja (Keaton).
    • Sleeper – 100% Sleeper was released in 1973 and it just turned 50 years in 2023. The science-fiction comedy introduces Miles Monroe (Allen), a health food store owner who went through a routine operation in 1973 but was cryogenically frozen back then.
    • Annie Hall – 97% Many people would consider Annie Hall, released in 1977, to be Allen’s best film. The film follows Ally Singer (Allen), a neurotic character, a comedian who is reflecting on the times he spent with his ex-girlfriend singer Annie Hall (Diane Keaton).
