CGiii Comment
Although it has only a minor gay character, Allen’s film is a sweet, funny, nostalgic tale – told through the eyes of a child.
Allen’s self-deprecating cynicism is his greatest weapon – many have copied him – few have got close.
The world needs a gay Woody – until he comes, gay comedy will continue to be in mourning.
