Café Society — An enjoyable moment just short of great — 8*/10
- Overall: Lives lived in the fast lanes, interesting and full of details, but the film fails to really be special.
- Who is it for? Fans of Woody Allen.
- Synopsis & information: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4513674/

- Setting: Hollywood and New York jet-set crowd and venues in the 1930s.
- Story: Although it is very interesting, full of details and different things, including family lives, Jewish humor, romance and some anecdotal violence, it fails at greatness. Short of that lofty goal, you still get captivated by all the interweaving lives.
- Ending: It ends as life does, on a suspended note. A bit unsatisfying, but realistic.
- Dialogs: Witty. Quick.
- Characters: Full of life and details.
