Set in 1928, Woody Allen's latest movie sees Colin Firth as a Magician who is asked to help prove that a spiritual medium is a fake, however the more he watches her the more he begins to question whether she could be real.
For fans of the 20's period, this might be a good watch, with lots of period detail, clothing etc, however I am not a huge fan of period films, and this was not enough to keep my interest. Despite only being a little over the 90 minute mark this seemed to plod along at quite a pedestrian pace, until it's final act. The conclusion of the movie is very good, unfortunately the final 10/15 minutes does not make up for the previous 75.
Both Woody Allen and Colin Firth have done much better movies than this fairly recently, so this is a little underwhelming 6/10
