Magic in the Moonlight: Critical Response

IMDB

User Reviews (6.5)

“This is a GREAT FILM. I read some of the tepid reviews, went anyway, LOVED it. Woody, as always, deals with big subjects lightly, the question here: is there magic in the world? Is there more to life than meets the eye? I don’t know what you believe, but Woody says there is. I went right along with him.”

Quote

“Because, depressing as the facts of existence are, they are the facts. There is no metaphysical world. What you see out there is what you get. I think Mr. Nietzsche has disposed of the God matter rather convincingly.”
