i can not imagine woody allen create a film bad than september . never have a film be more stagy allen must have intend that feeling and but only god know why . the direction be poor in every way . the dialogue be god awful and often laughable and and the acting be just a bad . mia farrow and dianne wiest turn in what must be their bad performance . sam waterston be ineffective . the two parent ( whose name i can not even recall ) seem like their in a different movie a woody allen film . their delivery be wry and often good and at least it would be if it belong here . none of the character ever ring true never . what really sad be that there be a good story underneath this terrible train wreck of a film . lane situation and her relationship with the other character could have be fascinate . unfortunately and the event of the past be introduce be such a poor way and the same way a really bad play would do it and that they never really seem important . allen want desperately to make a bergmaesque chamber piece and but bergman be smart enough to have the outside world exist in his similar film and persona and for instance . if you be an allen fan and then this one be worth see an artist bad work be nearly as important a his great work . just be prepare for something utterly awful at least it only 82 minute long . 4/10 .
