Mia Farrow Jeff Daniels

Plot

A film character steps out of the screen.

Sinekatalog’s take

Woody Allen's gentle fantasy has a movie hero step out of the screen to meet a lonely fan. Mia Farrow is lovely, and the film's mix of whimsy and heartbreak is among his most touching.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
