“It's going to be a shot in the dark!”

Comedy

Woody Allen stars as Val Waxman, a two-time Oscar winner turned washed-up, neurotic director in desperate need of a comeback. When it comes, Waxman finds himself backed into a corner: Work for his ex-wife Ellie or forfeit his last shot. Is Val blinded by love when he opts for the reconnect? Is love blind when it comes to Ellie's staunch support? Literally and figuratively, the proof is the picture.

VIBE

A neurotic director's crisis of confidence unfolds with sharp wit and existential dread. It's a classic Woody Allen exploration of love, career, and the agonizing search for artistic validation, all wrapped in a dialogue-driven, character-focused package.
