He'd rather have Kristin Stewart than Blake Lively? Give me a break!
This movie was just a delight. A fun Woody Allen getaway to old school Hollywood and New York. And also...some of the most gorgeous cinematography I've seen. Every shot I'm like, daaaamn, I want that on my wall.
I find it a bit dull and boring, it wasn't so well paced and the ending was bad for me
Well I have mixed feelings, it's sweet lovely and dreamy but no sad or ironic ending?! Is Woody Allen okay?
Great cast, sets, design etc. It's just a pity they forgot to include a script which without makes this movie tragically bad. Also it was nice to see some good acting from Kristen Stewart not as stiff as usual.
Another enjoyable Woody Allen movie that I'll probably end up rewatching on a Sunday afternoon sometime in the future
It's an okay film. I didn't find myself super drawn in or eager to keep watching but I can't quite put my finger on why. I'm not sure I'm a big fan of Kristen Stewart in this role. She wasn't believable. Jesse Eisenberg is good but I always felt aware of him doing an Woody Allen impression.. Something just feels a bit off. It was fine to watch once - lovely sets and costumes - buy I wouldn't recommend it.
I didn't expect that I would like this movie as much as I did, and for such a star studded cast, I'm not sure why I had such low expectations in the first place, but I loved this, and will definitely be watching it again.
We live in a Café Society where Bruce Willis actual got fired from a film set (he was suppose to play Steve Carell's character).
And yes this is becoming a Bruce Willis shitposting site now.
The film itself is fine. I mean, when you see one Woody Allen movie, you've seen them all.
Lighthearted and fun, Café Society is a witty satire from Woody Allen. The story follows a young man who moves out to Hollywood hoping to work for his uncle in the movie business and he soon falls in love. Featuring Jesse Eisenberg, Kristen Stewart, Steve Carell, and Blake Lively, the film has an impressive cast that delivers some strong performances. And Allen’s dialog is especially well-written, with a lot of clever commentary on Hollywood. Additionally, the sets and costumes look and feel authentic to the 1930s. However, the plot kind of meanders a bit and doesn’t do a lot of character development. Yet while it has its problems, Café Society is an entertaining and charming film that delivers some good laughs.
They can. I used to think exact same. I'm not that much sure about him, but slowly they are getting better.
Stewart started young I give her a pass and she was very good in Clouds of Sils Marie. Jesse. I think here was OK. For me, watchable,and don't think he will have much more, not a fan but honest opinion . But he has no range, it's clear. See here watch the other movie they are together. Huge change from Stewart. Lip bite and a lot of ticks gone here.
Still, I like her more in non romantic movies same with him, but avoid if possible. He's becoming Woody. A young Woody. Neurotic, and playing himself.
Watched this on a sleepover with my friends cause it was the only movie none of us had watched. Saw it was directed by Woody Allen and i’m not gonna lie, I was against it from the get go. But still, it could have been a nice surprise still, instead it was the worst Woody Allen movie I’ve ever watched. God you couldn’t have picked two more nervous, awkward actors to play a couple. In a way they’re perfect for each other but they make for a very tiring, uncomfortable watching experience. My favourite characters in the movie were Bobby’s family, they were the only ones that had some colour in a movie which is, ironically, the most saturated vibrant coloured movie i’ve ever watched (or maybe my tv was on a saturated setting). Anyways, what a waste of my evening.
5/10
A very underrated entry in the catalog of Woody Allen films. I thought the story was excellent and the acting was on point. Stewart and Eisenberg shine.

watched for jesse, a bit of waste unforunatelly
Seems to lose its way in the second half with some meandering plot points, but otherwise this is a sweet, old fashioned comedy.
Great performances in a very beautifully made picture.
I have watched it not so long ago, but I couldn't tell you the story line even if I wanted to intentionally spoil it for you. But what I remember is the feeling that it's a classic Woody Allen, nice to watch, not pretentious, nor made with the desire to become something else beyond being an enjoyable entertainment where you'll find the characteristic Jewish - Allen humor. Not being a mess, puts this movie directly on the top percentile of commercial flicks released by Hollywood during 2016, and I mean movies for humans who still wear a head on top of their shoulders.
Jesse Eisenberg is such a good actor!!!
I love the entire cast. and I like the dupla between Kristen Stewart and Jesse Eisenberg.
why people still think Jesse or Kristen can act is beyond me.
gotta say amazing cast and performance by each one of them, enjoyed the movie so much!
How to make a shallow movie about the shallowness of Hollywood industry, the cast is amazing tho.

The cinematography was beautiful but the story was a bit....bland, not bad, just a bit bland.
The acting was good but I wasn't quite satisfied with the ending.
