Manhattan is dangerous comedy, comedy that connects in ways that will make people—people involved in the fragile acrobatics of coupling, especially; people doing same in New York City most especially—squirm. After all, it's one thing to call your movie Real Life as Albert Brooks, another amusing fellow, does; quite another to really put it out there where we can recognize it.

After all, it's one thing to call your movie Real Life as Albert Brooks, another amusing fellow, does; quite another to really put it out there where we can recognize it. The hell with Scenes From A Marriage; Woody Allen is twice the artist Bergman is, truer to emotion and detail (and emotional detail), and gets more laughs besides.
