Match Point isn't one of his truly great films, like Annie Hall or Manhattan, but it's a very good one; a sign that a career that seemed stalled is purring along once more.

... a nifty little crowd pleaser ...
Peter Howell, Toronto Star

Match Point is airless, repetitive.
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel

Match Point has a coiled, taut energy that's unusual for Allen.
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald

In every scene, Allen's direction is unflinchingly clear-eyed, and it's a pleasure being walked through London at the same unhurried pace that he's taken through Manhattan all these years.
