Crisis in Six Scenes is oddly relevant—far more so than anything Allen has made in the recent past, possibly ever.

Yes, I am one of the Woody's work supporters. I was watching his work long before his personal issues came forth and I am bound to see it thru until he dies.

As for Crisis, meh. Woody tries but his writing is rehashed and not that sharp. Elaine May is her usual funny self but the book club part is overwrought. As for Cyrus, she can't act. It's a mystery that people even listen to her because all she does is be ungrateful for the help she's getting and needles everyone for their lives. (But she's happy to eat up all Woody's fig newtons.)

I wanted to like it and, luckily, it was only six short occasionally amusing episodes.

Not his first foray into television. He made a version of Don't Drink The Water for TV in 1994.

Just so were clear the SJW at the Stranger are also Woody Allen fans?

The irony is funnier than most of his movies.

Relevance is relative. Just because the subject matter of the latest piece may relate to current events doesn’t necessarily mean it is THE best.
Much of Allen’s- this Woodman is really annoying, sounds like another W’s nickname- 1970’s work was very relevant for those alive and well in those days.

I love Woody Allen and I have never spent a day caring what anyone else thinks, and from what I see, neither has he. I won't ever be going any where in a raincoat, and this review is odd to me..

It's on Amazon Prime? Never mind. For sure I'll never watch it. Allen and Amazon - a match match made in heaven or more likely hell.

ahhhh, separating the "art" from "the artist", where does one end and the other begin?

Please wait...
