I've heard it said that Woody Allen's films all have that same flavor to them. Even though they're different in a lot of ways, they all still feel like Woody Allen films. CASSANDRA'S DREAM, however, didn't have that for me. It felt totally fresh and new, and I would not have guessed it was a Woody Allen film just by watching it, credits excluded of course.
That being said, it's not necessarily a great movie. It's good enough, and enjoyable at moments, but pretty forgettable in the grand scheme of things. The acting is very good, however, and it's worth watching for the fantastic pairing of Colin Farrell and Ewan McGregor alone. Recommend for fans of the actors, and for Woody Allen fans.
