A new philosophy professor arrives on a small town campus near Newport, Rhode Island. His name, Abe Lucas. His reputation : bad. Abe is said to be a womanizer and an alcoholic. But what people do not know is that he is a disillusioned idealist. Since he has become aware of his inability to change the world, he has indeed been living in a state of deep nihilism and arrogant desperation. In class, he only goes through the motions and outside he drinks too much. But as far as sex is concerned, he is just a shadow of himself now: depression is not synonymous with Viagra! For all that, he can't help being attracted to one of his students, pretty and bright Jill Pollard. He enters into a relationship with her which remains platonic, even if Jill would not say no to more. The situation remains unchanged for a while until, one day, in a diner, Abe and Jill surprise a conversation that will change the course of their lives dramatically...
Leave your thoughts about Irrational Man.
| The Hollywood ReporterDavid RooneyAllen's dialogue is witty, his plotting zings along with forward momentum in all the right places, and his observation of elastic moral principles in flux is both mischievous and unsettling, yielding a tasty final-act Hitchcockian twist. |
| The Young FolksJosh CabritaJudged solely on a pain to pleasure ratio, Irrational Man is a delight bolstered by wonderful performances and an entertaining plot. |
| Tolucan TimesTony MedleyThis is one of Allen's more complex scripts. The pace is perfect, the dialogue smart, the acting first rate with fine supporting performances. But I kept thinking that had Hitchcock directed instead of Woody, it would have been a tense thriller. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeJust misses being one of Woody Allen's great films, this is still a worthwhile addition to his filmography and a must-see for admirers of the filmmaker. |
| Cleveland Plain DealerClint O'ConnorEmma Stone and Joaquin Phoenix cannot save Woody Allen's clunky and contrived Irrational Man. |
| Tampa Bay TimesSteve PersallNot at the level of Crimes and Misdemeanors or Match Point but interesting for Allen completists for the style tweaking late in his career. |
| Austin American-StatesmanCharles EalyEven lesser Allen movies are better than a lot of what comes out of Hollywood. But make no mistake: This isn't Woody Allen at his best. |
| Cinemalogue.comTodd Jorgenson... a dramatic trifle that marks one of the venerable filmmaker's more trivial efforts. |
| FILMINK (Australia)Cara NashThe storytelling may come wrapped in Allen's biting wit, but the performances ensure that there's more than satire and irony on display here. |
| L.A. WeeklyAmy NicholsonIt works better than most of Allen's recent films because it's a trifle without pretense, and because the director's finally smartened up — a little — right when everyone's written him off. |
