He loves setting the mood, and oh lord, he does it well. But he does it too much.

This movie, just like the others he directed, needs a bunch of cuts.... Paul keeps looking at Chani over and over again. We understand, we don't need you to remind us seven times in the scene.

A lot of scenes are too exhausted, too long. I'd remove maybe more than 30 minutes of excessive and repetitive "mood setting scenes". Seriously, great music, powerful visuals, awesome designs... But please, Denis, stop making your films longer than needed. People complained about seeing Frodo's face over and over again... This guy does the same until we just want to punch our eyes...

As a native spanish, I didn't like the actors in general, some of them were terribly bad, specially the kid , the girl and some other characters... I guess the good reviews come from non native speakers, if you take away feeling how ankward Spanish actors sounds to us, the movie looks better. It's very common in Spain to see this kind of "theatre" acting that looks absolutely fake.

About the movie... It's well made, hence the rating. But for the plot and dialogs, I've seen everything already. All cliches. Nothing new. Not very funny, not very gory, weird puffs of blood all the time... I don't know. Not interesting. Bland.

I have watched every single bit of stuff that is around, I've read Woddy's book, I've watched this documentary, and watched many videos on YT.

There are several things that I disliked a lot in this documentary: Hiding very important details of pro-Allen people and stuff that happened, and is proven (like the letter she sent to Woody with nails on it and such weird stuff). Makes this documentary absolutely untrustworthy... it it wasn't before watching it.

Also, add to it the "movie like" sad moments, playing with the viewer feelings, make it look like a very subjective and very "sentimental" and not a serious documentary.

Adding some images that we have never seen and the taped conversations is really interesting. I didn't like that all of them are edited or cut right before an answer was heard or a part of it was needed! So when listening to the excerpts seems like the audio has been edited heavily and hidden important details.

I would suggest the viewers to now watch some other stuff not made by Allen or the Farrows. Now watch a documentary on YT made by somebody who spend a lot of time researching too, called "By the way, Woody Allen is inocent" for a deep dive on all the details and reasoning of both sides, independently of your opinion, forget the title. It comments the stuff seen in this documentary as well as Allen's book and much more.

It is way more objetive than any other thing, I think.

Anyway, I'm not convinced at all, nor by this or Woddy's version, but this one feels bad, really bad, really biased.

I still watch W. A. movies and enjoy them as a work of art the same way we can enjoy a painting by Picasso without knowing stuff he did in his private life, I can have an opinion, but that's all I can do. On the other side, I feel like Dylan, whatever is the real version, is really broken, so it's too late for her to really know if that was really what happened or not, things stick forever and they will.
