My friend E is a Woody Allen fan—despite his being of a younger generation than I—and helped motivate me to catch up on Woody Allen’s movies. Then I saw a couple of accounts that made out Match Point to be one of Allen’s best.
I found the movie amazingly dry and devoid of humanity, of humane-ness. I found the Scarlett Johansson character uncomfortable, predatory in feel, and the male lead (JonathanRhys Meyers) a sociopath. To what was it all tending? I didn’t find out, because I couldn’t keep watching it (I got about half-way through).
