Not only is this 2015 Woody Allen movie thematically similar to his 2005 Match Point - another of his movies that references Crime and Punishment -- but this movie's Joaquin Phoenix (a tormented philosophy professor who is reinvigorated by murder) very closely resembles that movie's Jonathan Rhys Meyers, which makes you wonder if Woody Allen hasn't churned out so many films so often that he has lost track of which ideas he has already committed to celluloid, but thankfully he casts Emma Stone as a college student in the murderous professor's thrall and she is a fresh element and is as always captivating.
★★★☆☆
