I've already covered the Woody Allen allegations that Mia Farrow and her kids Ronan and Dylan have laid down on him. His reputation has surely been hit as actors that have worked with him in the past, no doubt driven, pressured, by the #MeToo and #TimesUp movements, have changed their tune on the director and now expressed regrets in working with the 82-year-old filmmaker. Ellen Page, Greta Gerwig, Rebecca Hall, and Timothée Chalamet have all expressed remorse in working with Allen.
So it was with a breath of fresh air that I read Alec Baldwin's tweets earlier this afternoon, DEFENDING Woody. Baldwin's starred in three Woody movies: “Alice,” “To Rome With Love,” and “Blue Jasmine.”
The film arrives unrated, set to screen in 2,000+ theaters this weekend, but is already plagued by disastrous early reviews, amounting to a 29% score on Rotten Tomatoes.
