Search: Directed by Woody Allen

Allen's genius is in bringing out the humour in little incidents and in using them to provide sharp insights into character.

This is a film which is both thoughtful and surprising.

Anything Else is a breezy comedy, full of funny scenes and classic Allen one-liners.

Blue Jasmine has all the wit and insight of classics from Allen's autumnal period.

A fluffy and charming confection that has an enticing exterior without much substance on the inside.

Allen's most morally challenging work since Crimes And Misdemeanors, this takes what is in essence a simple story and finds depths within it which will continue to haunt the viewer long after the closing credits have rolled.

Branagh has none of Allen's flair for comedy.

The plot is borrowed from a Sexton Blake penny dreadful, with fresh gags and terrific performances.

Being prolific implies over-exposure and repetition. Not with Allen. He gets better. He takes more risks.

Elegantly constructed and shot with the same apparent carelessness which turns out to be something much cleverer, Hannah And Her Sisters is a film which will take you by surprise.

The story is not as well-developed as it should have been but it’s an enjoyable enough treat for Allen fans for whom he can do no wrong.

One of the most elegant films of the year.

Allen's finest screenplay to date, filled with expostulating characters with relationship difficulties and hilarious interludes about the human condition.

This is comedy in the Shakespearean sense, the whole story revolving around the importance of luck.

For once, Allen's muse deserts him.

For some, Midnight In Paris will be first love; for others, a delicious encounter with an old flame.

Even by Allen’s standards it’s an incredibly solipsistic spin on a tale that has undercurrents of the exploitation and oppression of women, failing relationships and the pitfalls of parenthood.

Warmth emanates from its mature, observational roots. The gags represent the best of Allen's comedic evolution.

Throughout, it’s uncomfortable viewing due to the sheer awkwardness of the subject matter.

This new film, like all the others, has some of that old Woody sauce as well that gives it some charm, but it’s a mere shadow of its old self.

The ladle of light-hearted farce is never far enough from the plot.

Flippant, clever and packed full of intelligence.

The nostalgic delight of this movie is due partly to Santo Loquasto's production design and Laura Cunningham Bauer's costumes, both of which are outstanding.

The best movie this wonderful writer/director has made in a long time; funny, sharp, perfectly paced and rather gorgeously shot, with a quartet of cracking parts for excellent actors placed firmly at its centre.

When Allen foregoes his crutches, any kind of movie seems possible.

While you may well have heard this sort of thing before, the familiarity of the humour makes it all the more lovable.

This is far from vintage Allen, yet it's still a cut above most similar dramatic work.

This is a film with more than just a clever gimmick.
