At a summer house in Vermont, neighbor Howard falls in love with Lane,
who's in a relationship with Peter, who's falling for Stephanie, who's
married with children.
Good performances by the complete cast can't help this over the top psychological drama, an Ingmar Bergman clone on the verge of being a parody; I found myself asking about where are real people with real problems.
Halliwell (no star): "Allen in his melancholy Bergman mode."
Maltin**: "Intelligent and well acted, but after a while it dawns on you that there's no earthly reason to be interested in these people and their whining. Stritch is a standout as Mia's flamboyant mom, and it's hard to completely dislike a film that plugs jazz pianist Art Tatum so vigorously....Writer-director Allen fared better with his earlier drama, INTERIORS."
