"Dreams are dreams."
This is the first Woody Allen film I've ever seen. Café Society is about a young New Yorker who moves to Hollywood with hopes of obtaining some of his uncle's glamor and status. He meets and falls in love with his uncle's secretary, and a love triangle soon develops.
I figured I would enjoy this movie because I was impressed by the cast on the front cover. Jesse Eisenberg is always bound to put up a good performance, and this one is no different. Kristen Stewart, despite the hate she often receives, is also very good. I don't mind her at all as an actress, and<Café Society really shines her in the best possible light (figuratively and literally speaking). In this one, she impresses me more than Eisenberg.
I can see why someone wouldn't like this movie, but it appeals to my interests. The story, characters, and script are all very poetic and quaint. The setting is amazing, and Allen succeeds in giving off a Golden Age kind of vibe. The cinematography and lighting are beautiful. They offer a dreamlike look which matches the overall theme of the film.
This is a film I'd definitely be open to watching again. It tells the story of love, lost love, and love that just isn't meant to be. Sure it's clichéd, sure it's not everyone's type, but it's entertaining through and through.
