De Volkskrant – three star

Cafe Society disinterest the 80-year-old Woody Allen in good shape (…). the film has a light, optimistic tone, free of cynicism, especially when it comes to love: no one does childish about (…) it is striking that the productive, efficient filming Allen, usually rather a functional storyteller than an esthete. , his 47th feature film also made a feast for the eyes. (…) Along with the pleasant acting (only Jesse Eisenberg is problematic) is the Cafe Society one of the most enjoyable Allen movies of the last decade “

AD – four star

“. In his new film, balances between comedy and tragedy, Woody Allen is embarking on familiar ground. (…) Those who already beginning to yawn of recognition must never be underestimated Allen. The maestro from New York still manages to make again in a film that hilarious at times , but also far from perfect. (…) Cafe Society belong to the middle of the ever-expanding oeuvre Allen. That is still a recommendation for his admirers “

NRC Next – four star

“. The seemingly lighthearted Cafe Society is not a masterpiece but it is an enjoyable and surprisingly melancholic film. (…) What Cafe Society , which is full of references to Allen’s oeuvre, really makes above average is the beautiful camera work of veteran Vittorio Storaro ( The Conformist, Apocalypse Now, The Last Emperor ) “

the Telegraph – 3.5 stars

“. Café Society is a charming love comedy with familiar melancholic undertone that we know from many other Woody Allen movies. This hint of melancholy makes for balance and realism and prevents the story is too sweet and without obligation. (…) Cafe Society may Allens switch from classic footage mark to digital recording techniques, the difference is barely visible “

Wedding -. Four star

“It is perhaps not a high flyer in Allen’s oeuvre, but an entertaining, bittersweet story of a first love which never actually came up from the ground. Such love that your whole life keep thinking, and what you unconsciously continues to mirror all the other encounters “
