Yeah I'm absolutely shocked the Woody Allen segment was the one I enjoyed the most, because I tend to like his films less than Scorsese's and Coppola's. It had some humour and characters that were kind of fun, though as a short film it certainly wasn't amazing- but certainly decent enough.
Scorsese's segment was serviceable. Good enough performances and visual style, but the story was dull and of course more than a little creepy... even though the creepiness was surely intentional, I just still couldn't get invested.
Francis Ford Coppola's is easily the worst; I definitely agree with the general consensus here. No plot, no humour, no enjoyable characters.... at least there's some good visuals in the first segment and some decent humour in the third. The second segment has nothing. It's awful, and absolutely baffling that the same man directed Godfather 1 & 2, Apocalypse Now, and The Conversation (even Dracula and The Outsiders and Rumble Fish and yeah, even Godfather 3 are much better than his short film here).
