Reviews
Stardust Memories was discussed predominantly negative for film release in the U.S. press, was awarded in Europe but also repeatedly praise.
" [ Allen ] provides Stardust Memories clearly as his eight and a half, and he develops as a portrait of the actions of the artist. [ ... ] Stardust Memories is a disappointment. It requires a greater idea of organizing power to hold all these scenes full of nagging and whining and to lead somewhere. "
" [ Stardust Memories is ] a terrible betrayal. [ ... ] Woody Allen was in physical terms often cruel to yourself - now he is there against his fans. "
" No proper balance after nine films in eleven years, not a straight line, but a multiply broken Kritzellinie. Woody Allen, whose art had always been narcissistic, solely based on his difficult inner world, are closed than ever. [ ... ] I love him, not only the early comic films ', including and especially, Stardust Memories'. A very serious, very funny movie "
" A tragic comedy; mysterious hovering between (bad ) dream, distorting mirror of reality, self-reflection and self-criticism. Woody Allen's up to this time most personal, most complex and pessimistischstes work. "
