David Ansen Newsweek The good news is that once the gears of the plot kick in, Allen's expert comic timing proves as beguiling as ever. Mar 4, 2019 Full Review Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly Nobody labors quite like Woody Allen to produce a modest entertainment. Rated: B Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Geoff Andrew Time Out A movie inspired by movie escapism. Minor, but surprisingly, almost defiantly upbeat. Feb 9, 2006 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy The philosophy-free plot, as lightweight as a lemon meringue pie, recalls (to paraphrase Stardust Memories) Allen's early, funny pictures. Rated: 3/4 Sep 1, 2021 Full Review Sergio BenĆ­tez Espinof 'Manhattan Murder Mystery' is the film made by the filmmaker who hits the excellence with various casting choices. [Full Review in Spanish] Apr 15, 2020 Full Review Mattie Lucas From the Front Row Allen seems strangely refreshed here, and everyone involved is clearly having a blast. Rated: 3.5/4 Jun 3, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/15/25 Full Review Andy's E i totally dislike this movie due to the woody allen character, he was always paranoid in which i couldn't stand, always saying you shouldnt do this you shouldnt do that, yikes worst character ever Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/12/25 Full Review thiago s Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro Ć© fraco, as cenas sĆ£o mais ou menos, a história Ć© fraca, o elenco Ć© fraco, e ninguĆ©m ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens sĆ£o fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/05/25 Full Review Farah R As a fan of Allen’s films and an even bigger fan of Agatha Christie’s work, I expected to enjoy Manhattan Murder Mystery. Unfortunately, it was boring despite having a compelling story and credible characters. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/02/25 Full Review Dennui S I prefer the more philosophical Woody Allen movies. Keaton's character and the constant talking over each other are tiring. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/12/25 Full Review kristin h I just love this movie. I love the feel of it, the look of it, the perfect cast, and how much easy fun it is. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/20/24 Full Review Read all reviews
