I adore this movie. Very well done

Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2021

This is a cute movie. FYI, there's content about drugs, sex and cursing, as well as affairs, depression, murder etc so keep going if you don't care for that stuff.

This has great acting from many big named actors, the story flows well and kept my interest the entire time. I thought the Philosophy teachings would be boring, but its well done.

The romance part is not as predictable as most stories which is a delightful change.

I didn't realize it was a woody Allen film until afterwards so that was not factored in when looking for a movie to watch. I honestly don't go out of my way to watch his movies, he's not in my top ten of directors/writers. The acting in woody Allen films usually leaves a lot to be desired and need improved upon. This is strictly my opinion and based on his work and career.

If I think of the shambles for his personal life I would not watch his films ever. I am willing to bet everyone in this world has issues and some have done worse than woody. That said, it's gross, and no I don't agree with it, but it is what it is.

I say give the film a chance, it's a good movie.

Like a lot of Woody Allen's recent films, great performances, so-so story

Caveat: The video quality of Amazon Prime movies is subpar on 4k Apple TV. We subscribe to a lot of streaming services, and Amazon Prime streams suffer from a weird artifact where it appears video frames are frequently skipped resulting in abrupt "jerky" motions. Maybe this is a compression artifact? I would have watched this movie on another service if it was available.

Enjoyable, dark. For Dostoyevsky fans

Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2016

If you've read and liked Crime and Punishment, I recommend this film. Although it's in no means a Hollywood remake, there are significant overlaps in theme, and the Woody Allen's protagonist makes several references to the book in Irrational Man, clearly identifying the inspiration drawn from the novel and making this film a beautiful homage, shot incidentally in probably the most beautiful corner of the US, Rhode Island.
That having been said, Allen is of course no Dostoyevsky, so leave your inner Russian Lit major at the door, because the deep introspective back-and-forth that made Crime and Punishment such a classic isn't present in Irrational Man. What does come across clearly and beautifully however is the analysis of a criminal's self-justification and particularly the delusion of grandeur accompanying a crime of this proportion. Phoenix does a nice job of bringing that aspect to life, making this a very enjoyable film from start to finish.
I'll say however that one thing was lacking from my perspective, and I sorely missed it in this film, like a gaping hole in the story line that couldn't possibly have been forgotten (perhaps a deleted scene?). No spoilers here, but a question: why doesn't the protagonist make any effort to confirm to himself or his friend that the supposed "making the world a better place" plan was even successful? There is absolutely no attempt made to find out how the actual custody trial was changed by his generous heroic intervention. I find it just as likely that the woman in the diner was misdirected and that a change in court personnel would not affect the outcome of her trial at all. Allen leaves this question entirely unaddressed.

Worth a Look if you are Familiar with Allen's Previous Body of Work

Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2016

This is one of those times when I feel pigeon-holed by Amazon's 5 star review system; for those who are largely unfamiliar with Woody Allen's filmography, this film may well provoke a harsher response---at least a star lower. On the other hand, for those people---including myself---who have seen most of Allen's other works, the film is probably deserving of another one-half to one star....

"Irrational Man" is the fourth (and, to the best of my knowledge, last) of Allen's films which deal explicitly with the theme of nihilism ("Crimes and Misdemeanors," "Match Point," and "Cassandra's Dream," are the others), and the rational but (most would say) disturbing implications of that worldview. As Rod Drehar from American Conservative aptly puts it:

"What is useful about Allen’s nihilism is that he really does see the implications of that worldview more clearly than many, many others who profess a softer form of nihilism. That is, many people would believe that there’s no ultimate truth, that whatever you think is true is true for you. That the universe is meaningless; whatever meaning exists is meaning we give it. If that’s your view, says Woody Allen, then you must agree that the murderer has understood the reality of things better than the moralist. Of course most people would recoil from that conclusion, but I don’t see how any other conclusion is sensible, given the nihilist’s basic premise (that moral truth does not exist)."

In this one, a lonely, alcoholic philosophy professor stumbles through his days getting drunk, having meaningless sex, contemplating suicide, etc. when he overhears a random conversation involving a recently divorced woman, distraught over the possibility a family court judge (whom the woman regards as corrupt and unjust) may award custody of her children to her ex-husband. Suddenly inspired, the professor decides to aid this anonymous woman by murdering the judge. In this premeditated act of violence the professor finally finds some purpose, and he is invigorated out of his stuporous existence. Whether he ultimately goes through with the act, experiences any remorse, gets caught, etc. I shall leave to your discovery, should you ever decide to see the movie. I have several criticisms of the film, including Woody's writing, which is uncharacteristically dull here, but most strongly concerning the casting----a typical strength of Allen's films---Phoenix and Stone, both good actors, are simply too slight to embody their roles. The film needed actors of greater gravitas. Phoenix, in particular, excels at playing dullards (e.g. The Master); and is completely unconvincing as a learned philosophy professor.....

If you have previously seen any of the other Allen films mentioned above, "Irrational Man" is worth your time. If you have not, but have any interest in this type of material, I would encourage you to seek out "Crimes and Misdemeanors," from 1989, which was Woody's first (and, in my view, best) treatment of the subject. That film is a classic, and one of my all-time favorite movies.
