Cassandra's Dream (2008) scores a combined 3.50 out of 4 stars for Combustible Celluloid (Jeffrey M. Anderson)Combustible Celluloid (Jeffrey M. Anderson)
Woody Allen's Cassandra's Dream is a surprisingly solid, expertly constructed crime drama. It's the 72 year-old director's third British-located film, still curious about the themes that bubbled through Match Point (2005) as well as his masterpiece ...read the complete Cassandra's Dream movie review at Combustible Celluloid (Jeffrey M.

Cassandra's Dream (2008) scores a combined 3.50 out of 4 stars for Minneapolis Star Tribune (Colin Covert)Minneapolis Star Tribune (Colin Covert)
"It's just a family problem," is a line Ian (Ewan McGregor) uses repeatedly in "Cassandra's Dream." On some occasions he's excusing his brother Terry (Colin Farrell), whose addiction to gambling and drink creates ugly difficulties for the pair. Other ...read the complete Cassandra's Dream movie review at Minneapolis Star Tribune (Colin Covert)

Woody Allen's Hannah and Her Sisters culminates with a warm and fuzzy Thanksgiving dinner scene where all the inner and outer relationship problems plaguing the angst-ridden characters in the film are happily resolved and familial ties are reaffirmed; a ...read the complete Cassandra's Dream movie review at filmcritic.com (Paul Brenner)

The funny thing, in the sense of odd rather than comedic, about CASSANDRA’S DREAM is that even though it is filmed in color, it is remembered in black and white. In Woody Allen’s lastest film, he returns to his consideration of morality, this time ...read the complete Cassandra's Dream movie review at Killer Movie Reviews (Andrea Chase)

For movie stars, the prospect of being cast in a Woody Allen film has never lost its mystique, its sheen of cultish privilege. It hardly matters if the part is small. To act for Woody is to upgrade your cred, to join the club of the anointed; since Allen ...read the complete Cassandra's Dream movie review at Entertainment Weekly (Owen Gleiberman)

If Frida Kahlo can paint 55 self-portraits, Woody Allen can make several versions of the same movie. It's only fair: Artists in every medium return to the themes that occupy and preoccupy them, and Allen happens to be obsessed with murder. And ...read the complete Cassandra's Dream movie review at Houston Chronicle (Amy Biancolli)
Cassandra's Dream (2008) scores a combined 2.75 out of 4 stars for Seattle Post-Intelligencer (William Arnold)Seattle Post-Intelligencer (William Arnold)
One thing about Woody Allen: he's definitely prolific. Since his movie career began in 1971, he has directed at least one film a year, and as he approaches age 73, he shows no signs of slowing. (His 2009 film is already in the can, waiting to be ...read the complete Cassandra's Dream movie review at Seattle Post-Intelligencer (William Arnold)

Apart from the English setting, the preoccupation with sex, class, and murder, and an actress who looks eerily like Scarlet Johansson (or Scarlet Johansson's long lost identical twin sister with a heady London accent), there's not much to tie ...read the complete Cassandra's Dream movie review at rec.arts.movies.reviews (David N.

Writer/director Woody Allen got all his old fans juiced when his first British set film, "Match Point," turned out to be one of the best things he'd done in years. It looked like the Woody of "Crimes and Misdemeanors" had let in a waft of Hitch. But ...read the complete Cassandra's Dream movie review at Reeling Reviews (Robin and Laura Clifford)

With Cassandra's Dream, we may finally be seeing confirmation of what many have suspected for years: that Woody Allen's period of greatness as a filmmaker is over. A few years ago, Match Point provided hope that we might be observing a re-invention of ...read the complete Cassandra's Dream movie review at ReelViews (James Berardinelli)
