In his latest movie, Woody Allen uses the occult and the city of London as the invisible force that binds a foray of characters together. They are mostly a miserable bunch of family members and acquaintances leading miserable lives and only manage to make each other more depressed.
Helena and Alfie divorce each other in their golden years. Their daughter, Sally, is in a dead-end marriage to Roy, who pines for their exotic neighbour, while Sally has an eye for her new boss Greg. So what do they have in common, besides their loathing for each other? Just a fortune-teller, whose predictions seem to be strangely spot-on even though she’s obviously fake. Their lives don’t seem to get any happier throughout the movie, so it will only make you feel blessed to have the problems that you do. For that reason alone, it gets the rating below.
Rating: 2 out of 5
