Twitter Capsule: Among Allen's nastiest movies, which seems to free his actors into a level of truth-telling he often inhibits.

VOR: ④  Bold use of handheld cameras, especially for its time. Nervy plunge into domestic darkness, especially given its timing. Great proof of Allen's revelatory skill with actors.
