I haven't as yet seen Match Point but I wanted to comment on the fact that I personally space out my Woody film's with long viewing gaps in between. The reason for this is something I read in a bio. of Ernest Hemmingway. He was to have told a friend that he spaced out reading the great Russian writers throughout his life so that he would never be short on something worthwhile to read. This is the approach I take to Allen's films.
This truly is one of Allen's best films. I haven't talked about it much because I don't want to spoil it for those who have not seen it yet. But I think a capsule review from Roger Ebert puts it best: "Match Point" (Thriller, R, 124 minutes). One of Woody Allen's very best films, a thriller about a rich British family and two outsiders (Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Rhys-Meyers) who hope to enter it by using their sex appeal. Meyers marries rich and beautiful Emily Mortimer; Johansson is engaged to Mortimer's brother, rich and handsome Matthew Goode, but the outsiders are more attracted to each other. Smart, devious, charged with lust and fear. Some people "don't like Woody Allen films." I disagree with them, but in this case it's irrelevant, because this isn't a "Woody Allen film" but simply a great thriller. Rating: Four stars.
