Iconic writer, director, actor, comedian and musician Woody Allen allowed his life and creative process to be documented on-camera for the first time. With this unprecedented access, Emmy-winning, Oscar-nominated filmmaker Robert B. Weide followed the notoriously private film legend over a year and a half to create the ultimate film biography. "Woody Allen: A Documentary" chronicles Allen's career - from teen writer to Sid Caesar's TV scribe, from stand-up comedian to award-winning writer-director averaging one film-per-year for more than 40 years. Exploring Allen's writing habits, casting, directing, and relationship with his actors first-hand, new interviews with A-listers, writing partners, family and friends provide insight and backstory to the usually inscrutable filmmaker.

Movie Reviews

ViewLondon - 8/10 by Matthew TurnerAn engaging and enjoyable film that's a treat for Woody Allen fans. Recommended.
Combustible Celluloid - 8/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonFor fans it's a smorgasbord of fun stuff, ranging from clips of movies you may not have seen for a while, to footage of Woody at work.
Financial Times - 8/10 by Nigel AndrewsI could have watched this armada forever. The clips alone, from Sleeper, Annie Hall, Zelig and others, pageant his greatness.
Time Out - 8/10 by Dave CalhounIt's a collaborative effort with Woody (who, unusually, looks happy to be interviewed), so we see him at home (showing off a typewriter he bought for $40 at 16), writing on his bed and standing outside his childhood home in Brooklyn.
Screen-Space - 8/10 by Simon FosterRobert Weide's portrait of the artist and the man, Woody Allen, is a comprehensive document made no less captivating by its conventional approach.
London Evening Standard - 8/10 by Derek MalcolmThe whole thing would be a bit of a hagiography but for Woody's own comments.
What Culture - 7/10 by Shaun MunroA breezy distillation of Allen's body of work, if inevitably glossing over his colourful personal life.
Quickflix - 7/10 by Simon MiraudoThe doco only offers some insights, but even a minor glimpse into the notoriously private life of Allen is a treat.
Daily Telegraph (UK) - 6/10 by Robbie CollinThere is more to Woody Allen: A Documentary than its modest title suggests, although perhaps not quite enough to justify swapping that "a" for "the".
CineVue - 6/10 by Alexandra HaywardWhy do we love? Why do we die? Weide's biography talks about the filmmakers's life neither as iconic nor a piece of scandalous tabloid fodder, but as a quest to explore our most basic human concerns.
