| Boston PhoenixA.S. HamrahCan films be mellow and bitter at the same time? Starting with Match Point in 2005, Woody Allen's movies have deepened and become more gimlet-eyed about the human condition. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderSome moderately interesting characters occasionally do some mildly amusing things, but in the end no one is satisfied, least of all the audience. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThe slight pic benefits greatly from the talented ensemble cast that makes more of the tiresome dialogue than can be expected. |
| St. Louis Post-DispatchCalvin WilsonAllen has been criticized for leaving some of the plot lines up in the air and several characters in the lurch. But he seems to be making a point: Neat Hollywood endings are as phony and dangerous as Cristal's ramblings. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris HewittTo put it bluntly: Allen no longer seems to have any idea how real people behave or talk. |

| Milwaukee Journal SentinelDuane DudekThe result will never be mistaken for Shakespeare but could be considered a sex farce in the tradition by Rabelais or Molière. |
| Detroit NewsTom LongClassic Woody -- an ensemble cast of brilliant actors, a timeless story that could be set virtually anywhere and crisp writing and direction that neither lollygags or rushes. |
| Minneapolis Star TribunePeter SchillingAt once a cynical examination of infidelity and a sweet love story that rewards good people, Stranger is thoroughly entertaining ... and Allen's best film since Crimes and Misdemeanors. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeAt least on one viewing and with no distance -- it falls shy of being a great Woody Allen picture. |
