Critics Consensus

Woody Allen's sharpest film in years, Match Point is a taut, philosophical thriller about class and infidelity.

David Ansen Newsweek 03/13/2018
The change of locale from New York to London has done Woody Allen a world of good. As has oft been said, Match Point is his best movie since ... fill in the blank. Go to Full Review Victoria Segal New Statesman 09/26/2017
His first film set in London, it boasts a young, pretty, something-for-everyone cast. As enter-tainment, however, it just slams limply into the net every time. Go to Full Review Edward Lawrenson Sight & Sound 09/28/2006
The plotting lacks a necessary sense of tragic propulsion; it feels dutifully schematic, its ironies polite and tidy when they should be bitter and merciless. Go to Full Review Diana Tuova Spotlight on Film 08/02/2024
2.5/5
Match Point is melodramatic, with the whole story turned on a set of unlikely and ludicrous eventualities, which Allen only too eager to call “luck”. The story makes almost zero sense, and it works neither as a drama-thriller, nor as a romance-comedy. Go to Full Review Michael Calleri Niagara Gazette 04/30/2023
"Match Point” is a great movie, which showcases Woody Allen’s ability to offer insights into the human condition. He reveals telling insights about people who need to be brutal in order to protect what they consider important. Go to Full Review David Lamble Bay Area Reporter 05/07/2020
A glorious ride, with touches of Hitchcock, Patricia Highsmith and Woody Allen sprinkled through a film whose panoramic views of contemporary London are the next-best thing to a budget-weekend escape flight. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Keith B. @Okbullard Apr 22 I had high hopes for this one but was kind of disappointed because it was pretty predictable. The acting was decent but the plot tended to drone on a bit. I liked many Woody Allen movies (Sleeper was my favorite) and enjoyed his standup back in the day but this one wasn't up to his normal standards in my mind.

Watched on Amazon Prime. See more Scott W. @Clarknt67 Apr 2 A favorite I have revisited several times. A treat for Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Scarlett Johansson fans (and who isn’t?) it is a gripping, if cynical, thriller. Beautifully shot in London, with all the intimacy and affection Allen has previously adorned on New York City. See more Pongo K @RT48921889 Mar 19 The acting was really bad. I could not see it through. See more Lisa H @HollisHoHo Mar 18 Great flick & I adore Jonathan! See more Read all reviews
