Every film critic since I can remember begins review of the latest Woody Allen film stating that Allen is well past his prime. Frankly, I don’t quite understand why. I quite enjoyed many of his later films. There is a dud every once in a while, but that was true in his early years as well.

Vicky Cristina Barcelona is very enjoyable. Perhaps I don’t appreciate his early work enough, but I though this is one of his better films.
