judy berlin be obviously inspire by the many comedy of woody allen . everything from the black and white look ( that allen use in manhattan and stardust memory among others ) and to the neurosis of it main character david ( a struggle filmmaker ) to the girl he try to win ( the soprano great edie falco ) to the portrayal of the parent ( include the late and great madeline kahn and in her final performance ) and all suggest woody . but the director and eric mendelson and make his first film and capture all these people in the same way allen do in all their humour but also suggest a level of sadness that woody hardly ever do . this be a wonderful little film that should be enjoy by all .
