It's enough to make you pine for the good old days -- back when life was only partly ironic and Woody was totally funny.
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail

These characters not only don't talk like working-class Londoners, they don't talk like anyone.

The problem is, you don't feel the human sweat and strain in Cassandra's Dream, despite game work from Farrell and McGregor. There are plenty of ideas and themes and no people of distinctive interest to enliven them.

Allen is notorious for not giving his actors explicit instructions, and yet somehow this worked wonders for Farrell, who has never seemed so naked, so clear and so unencumbered as he does here.
