I'll confess, even after everything with Soon-Yi I still supported Woody Allen. I loved a lot of his films. I still think Crimes and Misdemeanors, Match Point, Midnight in Paris and Blue Jasmine are masterpieces.

That said, the more you look at so many of the relationships in Woody Allen movies - and Manhattan is just the tip of the iceberg, almost every movie he's made has one 'may-december romance - they become increasingly creepy. There are a lot of Allen's films from the mid 1990s to the 2000s where he kept casting himself as romantic leads with much younger women. Even in my twenties I found that creepy. In hindsight, its basically a tell.

All of that, of course, pales to what he did to his adopted daughter. I saw 'Allen v. Farrow' to. I don't think I will ever in good conscience watch a Woody Allen film for the rest of my life. The fact that he thinks he can keep making them and still feels that he's the victim because he can't release them shows just how lost he is. Forgive me for saying this, but he can't leave us fast enough.
