C’est dimanche, un jour de congé et ma fête, alors quoi de mieux que d’aller avec ma chère et tendre au ciné pour voir un film de Woody Allen dont la distribution a été retardée par une affaire qui a touché de nombreux artistes aux USA ? Woody Allen restera toujours mon réalisateur et scénariste préféré et s'il devait s’agir ici de son dernier effort, ce serait un adieu plus que digne après une carrière infiniment longue. Woody nous sert son cocktail mélancolico-romantique classique infusé d’humour fin et de répliques qui demande à son public et à ses fans une certaine connaissance préalable de son œuvre. La BO et la photographie sont superbes, l’ambiance particulière de sa ville adorée est présente et n’oublions pas les acteurs physiquement attrayants de la jeune génération et leurs excellentes prestations. Chalamet et Fanning se complémentent à merveille et, pour ma part, j’ai eu une agréable surprise avec l’acteur Liev Schreiber, généralement plutôt porté sur l’action. Et je me demandais quel rôle Woody attribuerait à Kelly Rohrbach… Mmh, ouais, évidemment, j’aurais pu deviner ! :-)

It is evident that Woody Allen is still in the game. He creates great dialogues that make sense. Moreover he is still able to get solid actors who are evidently showing themselves off in this movie. For example Elle Fanning who portrays a naive little girl here. It is all highly artsy and otherworldly. When you watch it for the first time it is quite overwhelming to the senses but after a few weeks you won’t even know you have watched it at all.

Who would have thought that A Rainy Day in New York would be the Woody Allen movie that gets the ax? I don't want to comment on that case, but I'm glad that the film itself is still a classic Allen film from recent years, formally and stylistically fitting in among all those proven works that Allen has created since 2000. Everything is here - traditional sophisticated work with music, love for New York, beautifully chatty characters, intertwined relationships, and interesting life perspectives. One girl is blonde, the other a brunette. He is young and unspoiled and has a fascinating mother. Unexpected things happen behind the scenes. And in New York, it keeps raining and raining... Beautiful and intoxicating. As always.

New York in a romantic vibe, milked to the max. Allen is a little weaker this time and too laconic in story creation, but typically lively and topical in dialogue, and some of the scenes are full of life's truths and paradoxes. By far the most interesting are the characters who appear on the scene only briefly but have an absolutely crucial impact on the development of the story (Diego Luna, Kelly Rohrbach). Woody doesn't pull as hard on the reins this time as in his other films, but it's still light and fun fare for a Saturday afternoon.

Not an over-produced self-indulgent coloring book, but instead the best Woody Allen film since Midnight in Paris. Timothée Chalamet's versatile talent fits the rainy streets of New York to a tee, and perhaps it is exactly that light-hearted posing in art galleries, parties, filmmakers, and reminiscing about decades-old art that is so accurately and pleasantly reflected on his melancholic face. I can't deny that the same jokes are made about the same topics for the umpteenth time, as are the relationship complications, but when the result is such a well-crafted introspective romantic comedy, I will gladly give it a go for the fifty-first time.
