Scoop: Critical Response
IMDB
“Reading a wide variety of Scoop reviews over the past few days, I walked into the theater prepared for a subpar outing from Woody. Happily, I couldn’t have been more wrong. Granted, Woody the performer is slowing down a touch or two, but Woody the writer/director is in fine form – and found a credible way to integrate his 70-year old self into the story.”

Scarlett Johansson on Woody Allen’s innocence
“I love Woody. I believe him, and I would work with him anytime. I see Woody whenever I can, and I have had a lot of conversations with him about it. I have been very direct with him, and he’s very direct with me. He maintains his innocence, and I believe him.”
