Magic in the Moonlight
(2014)
Written and directed
by Woody Allen this film stars Colin Firth, Emma Stone, Hamish
Linklater and Eileen Atkins. In the 1920s a cynical stage magician is
brought in to debunk a mystic holding sway over a rich family.
While a lot of this
film has much in common with many of Woody Allen's film it has a
different spin on things and a slight charm of it's own. I did manage
to guess the outcome fairly early in but it was still an enjoyable
watch as long as the usual Woody Allen romantic relationship does not
bother you. Colin Firth steals the show as the protagonist and a lot
of the charm of the film comes from his role.
4/5
