...Diane Keaton and Meryl Streep; women who Allen portrays as both the model of feminine perfection and as the downfall of man. Nola doesn’t have the quirkiness of Annie Hall, the innocence of “Manhattan” jailbait Tracey, or the frantic delusions of Anjelica Houston’s doomed mistress in “Crimes and Misdemeanors” (the Allen film to which “Match Point” bears the most similarity); instead, she seems painfully real.
