Rating: 4/5 -- The whole thing would be a bit of a hagiography but for Woody's own comments. Full Review

The story of Woody Allen, however, is ripe for a 'ripped from the headlines!' movie, which is why it's so nice to see rather a respectful, unsensationalised documentary on him. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- There is more to Woody Allen: A Documentary than its modest title suggests, although perhaps not quite enough to justify swapping that "a" for "the". Full Review

Rating: 2.5/5 -- There's nothing innovative or particularly interesting about the film's structure; it is a chronological timeline of Allen's work and doesn't contain much of what may be regarded as new information to the director's fans. Full Review

[T]his is respectful documentary-making about a heritage artist....The best content finds Allen returning to the house where he was born...

For fans it's a smorgasbord of fun stuff, ranging from clips of movies you may not have seen for a while, to footage of Woody at work. Full Review

Rating: 4/5 -- I could have watched this armada forever. The clips alone, from Sleeper, Annie Hall, Zelig and others, pageant his greatness. Full Review
