On the other hand, it is, for Allen, a comparatively rare excursion into lower-class life - the setting is London, as it has been in his two previous films - and its portrayal of the contortions upward striving can impose on people eager to move up in class is cool, well-observed and often even touching - especially in Farrell's confusions and eventual meltdown under guilty pressure. The scale of this film is right for this excellent realist, much more appropriate to his talents than the brawnier pictures Hollywood has cast...
