...one of the venerable writer/director's more accomplished efforts in this new century.January 20, 2006
Match Point is airless, repetitive.January 20, 2006
Match Point has a coiled, taut energy that's unusual for Allen.January 20, 2006
... a nifty little crowd pleaser ...January 20, 2006
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.August 19, 2010
There's no ground here that Allen hasn't gone over before, but as a treatment of upper crust mores and, eventually, as a thriller, it's compulsively watchable and generally well acted.April 29, 2009
A limp, dull, and contrived rehash of "Crimes and MisDemeanors"...September 19, 2010
This lean, mean, surprisingly sultry thriller about fate, luck, greed and guilt is Woody Allen's best since "Mighty Aphrodite." Plus, it boasts a vintage-Allen metaphor of a bobbling tennis ball that, in a great gotcha scene, becomes a damning motif.September 14, 2013
But, perhaps, the greatest parallel between Woody's Match Point and Hitch is duality. It's a brilliant device.January 20, 2006
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.January 20, 2006
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 façade of the character.
