This Rhode Island-shot film has its pleasures: interesting actors, philosophical chitchat, an appealing academic setting.August 07, 2015
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.July 30, 2015
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 ...December 31, 2015
Irrational Man is turgid to the point of ridiculousness and absurdly anachronistic ...July 30, 2015
In the end, this feeble effort remains tainted, however unfairly, by the creator's personal life. Maybe Allen should have titled it "Rationalizing Man."May 05, 2016
It won't surprise anyone looking for something new from Allen, but you can find some of the themes in his other work with a different focus. [Full review in Spanish]May 04, 2016
It's the Woodman's worst since Melinda and Melinda.May 27, 2016
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.June 15, 2016
As is often the case with Allen's narratives, the morality issues at work here reflect what seems to be the director's own conviction -- that conventional standards of good and evil should not be imposed on brilliant people like Abe... or himself.April 21, 2016
It might not be Woody's best film, but it's a refreshing and reflexive comedy with Allens touch of acid dark humor. [Full review in Spanish]August 14, 2015
After a late wobble or two, Irrational Man packs a final, farcical punch that feels just right.July 30, 2015
While it doesn't quite succeed, it's a mournful meditation too sharp and smart to dislike.
