Mighty Aphrodite : Critical Response

IMDB

User reviews (7.0/10)

“This movie is an excellent example of Woody Allen’s sheer skill as a writer. Essentially a tale of a failing marriage, Allen frames it as a textbook Greek tragedy, complete with masked chorus and deus-ex-machina. To prevent this from being one long joke that outstays its welcome, he structures the movie brilliantly so that it becomes funnier as it goes along. It is a superb piece of writing, shot through with hilarious one-liners and sight-gags.”

It didn’t came as a surprise: Actors and Actresses are always exceptionally good in Woody Allen’s movies. In 2014, Cate Blanchett was seventh Oscar Winner from Woody Allen’s films.

Like her “sisters” Asia Argento (now out of the game) and Rose McGowan (always ready to attack and slander Woody Allen), Mira Sorvino wanted to use the MeToo movement for her own profit. As she couldn’t allege she has been raped by Weinstein, on January 11, 2018, she wrote an open letter to Dylan Farrow to catch the eye of the medias:

In December I called your brother Ronan, sharing about the aftermath of my and other women’s coming forward about Harvey Weinstein. (…) I told him I wanted to learn more about you and your situation. He pointed me toward publicly available details of the case I had ruefully never known of, which made me begin to feel the evidence strongly supported your story. That you have been telling the truth all along.

On May 23, 2018, Moses Farrow published a long essay on his blog: “I was present for everything that transpired in our house before, during, and after the alleged event.” (…) “Strangers on Twitter pose me this question all the time: ‘You weren’t there to witness the assault, so how do you know it didn’t happen?” But how could anyone witness an assault if it never happened?”

Still, few hours later, Mira Sorvino was not ashamed to write this tweet:
