If this wasn't Woody's best movie, it had to be pretty darned close. The two most interesting things about it, for me, were that:

(1) it was one huge "inside joke." For example, if you don't know your art history, music history, and history-history:-), a lot of it can get right by you; and,

(2) I was so surprised and grateful to see black people in this movie. It's set in both the current day and the Roaring 20s. It's always driven me crazy to see things like movies set in New York, or Detroit -- with no black people in them. There were black people in the 20s, ya'll! Here and in Paris! Now, none of these black people had huge speaking parts, but Woody makes sure we see them. There are actually wealthy, attractive, gorgeously-dressed black people in the 1920s scenes of this movie. "Black history" did not occur separately from "white" history. It is all intertwined. I will never understand how "history" can simply delete entire races of people as if then never existed or simply had no respect on local or world events.

Corey Stoll gives a brilliant, hilariously funny portrayal of Hemingway, but you have to be familiar with Hemingway's work and personality. Well done, Woody.
