To Rome With Love

Woody Allen structures this film as a series of intersecting vignettes, each exploring a variation on fame, romance, or aspiration. The segments range from the whimsical to the absurd, unified more by tone than by narrative connection. Performances from Jesse Eisenberg, Penelope Cruz, and Alec Baldwin carry individual threads, though no single story dominates. What emerges is less a cohesive whole than a collection of observations.
