Review of Deconstructing Harry (1997) by Compi24 — 06 Jun 2023

With "Deconstructing Harry," writer/director/star Woody Allen once again ventures into the realm of all things "meta," looking to define the thin line between art and real life. With this, you not only see the protagonist dealing with the implications of their works, but — potentially — Allen reckoning with his own in turn.

This makes for an interesting, if undeniably self-indulgent work on the part of the filmmaker in question. The self-deprecation definitely helps to even things out in the end, but I'd still say this isn't one of Woody Allen's finest efforts.

Still, it's fun to see this absolutely stacked cast have fun with the material at hand. Also, some of the vignettes littered throughout were very funny. All in all, I can't say I necessarily regret the watch.
