Saw it in an advance screening.
The "tragedy" portion of "Melinda & Melinda" wished it was this good. Near the end there's a twist you're almost certain to not see coming, and the frightening implication, that life is mostly random luck and coincidence and can save or condemn you at any point for any reason, is a haunting one. I'm going to give it some more time for perspective's sake, but I think this may be Woody Allen's best movie since "Crimes and Misdemeanors."
