2.5-3 Woody Allen is a great actor..

Miss Paradis is really beautiful when she smiles without opening her mouth. The story is very smooth, and the ending is a little abrupt, and the movie ends before you know it. Woody Allen's lines are as high-energy and humorous as his own film; saying that the Jewish community is a joke in American films. The music is great, always remembered at the right moment. If Avigal is willing to accept that stalking Jewish man...at least that means therapy is working.
