...sexual attraction for his mistress, and maniacal desperation to not lose the fortune he has gained. “Match Point” epitomizes Woody Allen’s distinctive ability to simultaneously revere and fear women. Johansson joins the esteemed ranks of Mia Farrow, Diane Keaton and Meryl Streep; women who Allen portrays as both the model of feminine perfection and as the downfall of man.

The twist is that Dave also happens to be the son of Rafi’s therapist, Lisa (Meryl Streep). At first, only Lisa realizes their convoluted connection and must listen uncomfortably to Rafi disclose intimate details in therapy (e.g. “His penis is so beautiful. I just want to knit it a hat”). Once all the other characters catch on, comedic chaos ensues. But if only the cleverly...
