HomeyTao For having a relatively low budget, the film's style and overall art direction are immensely impressive.

Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

tishacp From word go this series read as pure satire to me. This isn't about the sixties. It's about today set in in the sixties. I've read several other reviews and apparently I'm the only one who focused in on this. In fact, no one else even mentioned it. Am I really the only one? Half the dialogue is, yes, shout-outs to the sixties, but half the dialogue is also straight out of our recent presidential primary and election. I think if people approach this show as a political commentary rather than a comedy it will read much funnier. Just a suggestion.Woody Allen feels as clunky as always and certainly this is not a comfortable venue for Allen in storytelling. Still, they're hitting us over our heads with quotes straight out of the Bernie Sander's campaign speeches and everyone is talking about less-than-subtle parallels with Salinger. We get the Salinger connection but not the Bernie Sanders ones? Were it many months or years past this monstrous political year we just experienced (and are still experiencing,) I might understand this. In our current political space in time, however, I'm surprised to see this element dismissed.If that's really the case, then personally, I think we need a lot more headbanging. Anything but subtle correlations with just how far backward we have gone in this country should be the only thing allowed...if it's a satirical political commentary you're after, that is. Probably, that's not what anyone was expecting from Woody Allen, including Allen. But that's how nearly every scene of this series read to me.Tishacp

Jay Raskin Harsh critic reviews keep me from watching this for almost two months. As usual the mass of critics were wrong and I totally enjoyed the two and a half hours I spent binge-watching this on the day after Thanksgiving. By the way, Elaine May's "Ishtar" is another movie the mass of critics were totally wrong about. Trust me, it was hilarious - see it). I felt that this was very much like some of Allen's early movie efforts from the 1960s and 1970s like "Take the Money and Run" "Bananas" and "Love and Death" where plot took a backseat to absurd and ridiculous one-liners and dialogues.For example:Lenny (Miley Cyrus): I don't dislike you, its just everything that you stand for.Sidney: God's going to punish us in this. Kay: God's not going to punish you, you're an atheist. Sidney: But if I'm wrong we're in big trouble.Kay: Chairman Mao say "Death's certain, life unpredictable." Sidney: He got that from Charlie Chan.If you're familiar with early Woody Allen, watch this and see the amazing continuity. If you are unfamiliar, watch this and then get DVDs of "Bananas," "Take the Money and Run" and "Love and Death." You will see what a rich source of material the 1960s youth rebellion offered for sharp comedians of the time.Miley Cyrus is terrific and Woody Allen is Woody Allen and Elaine May is Elaine May. That should be enough of a recommendation. After you see it, come back here and write a great review of it.

cultfilmfreaksdotcom "A fugitive is eating my chicken," sums up Woody Allen's entire streaming sit-com for Amazon Prime members, which, taking place in the "turbulent 1960's" and involving a renegade played by, of all people, Miley Cyrus, proves the Left Wing could very easily live their ultimate dream and finally rid the world of the Right altogether because, with the difference of your typical "Lazy Limousine Liberal" type or the registered Everyday Democrat verses the Underground Revolutionaries, changing the government through a voting booth or with a homemade bomb, they have enough to argue and debate on their very own without needing anyone to oppose them but themselves...The only problem is, after a while, people who all believe in the exact same thing are just not that interesting (and the whole hippie culture thing is literally getting old)...Not that Allen's character, a struggling has-been novelist trying to (ironically) pitch a TV series, doesn't have a few semi-funny lines, especially after rapid-firing quips like Edward G. Robinson handles a TommyGun. And his wife, played by SMALL TIME CROOKS scene-stealer Elaine May, is the more open-minded, polite, quirky moral-compass airhead Edith Bunker type to Woody's cynical Archie Bunker, and while ALL IN THE FAMILY is what CRISIS IN SIX SCENES is obviously influenced by, the main character doesn't have enough arguments to oppose this show's Meathead in Miley's political-ranting escaped-convict other than, "A fugitive is eating my chicken." Okay, folks, prepare to laugh your heads off: She eats his shrimp as well.The perpetual bickering is just too forced, feeling like a reason for particular views and ideals to be discussed in the first place, and it's not all Miley's fault, despite the fact she's the easiest target to blame. Sure, the poor girl's not nearly a good enough actress to spout dialogue written by Woody Allen... But the other main side-character... a fat, lazy college boy friend-tenant, serving as a young-Woody type, falling hopelessly for the Far-Left babe and learning to worship Fidel Castro, liken to Allen and Louise Lasser in BANANAS... makes Hannah Montana seem like Annie Hall. And to spice things up, a fiancée is forced upon this guy's character from the very start to make a possible tryst with Cyrus more intriguing, but with these dullards as the subjects of possible romance, it just doesn't mesh... at all.Meanwhile, in order to work as a binge-worthy serial, the only thing that's really "on the line," i.e. to keep the viewer interested, is the possibility of Woody and Elaine's characters getting caught for harboring a fugitive, and jailed. But at this point, they're both so old and frail, hardly able to move around comfortably, or spout their constant diatribes of neurosis, it's most likely the judge would let them off with sympathy. Proving that Risk is wasted on the young, and that Woody was much better when he had something to lose, and more than one limited actress to keep partially disagreeing with: and for three whole hours this time!

TxMike I am, in general, a fan of Woody Allen's movies. I hate a few of them but mostly the ones that feature Allen himself in a leading role. Many of his recent movies I have found very entertaining and worth the time.I had heard about "Crisis" a few months ago, I put it on my calendar so I wouldn't miss it. We have an Amazon Prime subscription so it was easy to get to.I watched the first 23-minute episode and found it pretty boring. Mostly old New Yorkers doing what old New Yorkers do and Woody Allen's script isn't that funny. Having it set in the 1960s appears to be just a gimmick. I watched the second episode and found it to be mostly the same.At the end the resolution was anti-climactic. Overall I found it to be mostly a waste of my time. Who would like it? Mainly the die-hard fans of Woody who like to see and hear his unique brand of humor. Stammering, saying the wrong thing at just the opportune time. There are a number of name actors but the three most important ones are Woody Allen as author Munsinger, Miley Cyrus as radical fugitive Lennie Dale, and Elaine May as Kay Munsinger.
