Review: Canceled, creepy and still funny, Woody Allen shrugs

Agreeing to write this review felt like signing up for a lifetime of social distancing. Before I go any further, I need to put my cards on the table: I once profiled Woody Allen for Vanity Fair, and I’m agnostic about the accusations. I understand the seriousness of sexual-abuse allegations. While there’s just too much evidence against Harvey Weinstein and Jeffrey Epstein, too many stories from too many accusers for there to be any reasonable doubt, in Allen’s case the accusations that he molested his then-7-year-old daughter, Dylan Farrow, all originated from the same hot spot, the Farrow family — which is no Brady Bunch. Mia’s brother was convicted of sexually abusing minors, and one of her children, Moses, disputes Dylan’s molestation allegations.

None of this is very shocking (except maybe the Bob Hope part, until he demonstrates it in a film clip), given the messages in many of his movies.

The surprising thing in "Woody Allen: A Life in Film" is his very normal, non-ne
