Irrational Man's reviews
Media reviews
Variety
A darkly funny, intellectually rigorous campus comedy. That conceit puts a fresh spin on a familiar premise.
Rolling Stone
Allen has crafted a suspenseful mind-teaser that might feel too much like an intellectual exercise if Phoenix and Stone didn't infuse it with such raw humanity.
El País
Misses the complexity, suspense and depth of their previous chronicles of crimes, but it is told with intelligence, imagination and boldness that characterizes this priceless artist.
El Mundo
The thematic match it to 'Match point', 'Cassandra's Dream' and 'Crimes and Misdemeanors', while the tone places it near 'Blue Jasmine' or 'Midnight in Paris'. But everything worse, slower, less developed without the spark of the highlights.
Fotogramas
It is globally enjoyable, fresh, not stupid, but leaves us in a half way so as it does most films of the last stage of Allen: mired in feeling (excluding the extraordinary 'Blue Jasmine') that the genius of yesteryear still retired.
La Vanguardia
It can be considered a dark comedy tinged with philosophy, let's say existentialist, like Dostoevsky. (...) The spark in the dialogues is there (...) If you don't see 'Irrational man', do not worry. It's not that much either.
