Celebrity is an overlong movie that actually have a fair use of screen time for this type a two perspective film of two characters on their continuation life story that are unfortunately i found it not quite interesting, it's greatly perform with a greatly cast, sometimes there is some good moment and if it's funny, i laugh but again mostly i still found Celebrity not really a dragging film to watch, overlong making me feel too long, a story that are not quite interesting, i'm just following what they're doing with a not really care feeling, Celebrity didn't quite do it right especially with the cast and the director itself, Woody Allen, somehow someway he was like confused on what he's gonna do with these character and actors, so overall Celebrity didn't really work mostly for me.

The Leo scenes were good. The rest of the movie stinks. If you just made a short film with the Leo scenes I would give it a much higher score. Even Charlize Theron scenes weren't entertaining. Stupid film 4 stars

This is one more of Woody Allen's intelligent (but not too intellectual) and witty movies, slightly ridiculing the world of movie and TV celebrities. However the first part is much more brilliant than the second one. The latter loses a bit of the brightness and cleverness of the former. Kenneth Branagh who replaces Allen as a talking machine gun analyzing everything and most often undecided, does a splendid role. The sequence with Leonardo DiCaprio is particularly funny in its crazy development seasoned with a pinch of nonsense which makes it delicious. The problems of marriage and divorce are once again present and as usually treated in a humorous way. Not the best of Allen's movies but one of the best indeed.

Great film. Branaugh scores with a wonderful extended impression of Allen, backed up with the richest supporting characters this year.

So-so Woody Allen film with Kenneth Branagh portraying an Allen type neurotic whose love life and career are a mess. Despite an attractive supporting cast including Wynona Ryder, Judy Davis and Melanie Griffith, its basically just a meandering film that gos nowhere.Not to say that the movie doesnt have its amusing moments but not what I look for in a Woody Allen film. Watch for promising newcomer Molly McCann as a Leonardo DeCaprio groupie in hotel scene.

An earnest couple split up in a passion and, instead of getting back together, spin off into the chaos of the celebrity universe - one sets a pattern, the other drifts into oblivion. Or is it the other way round? Amazing cast, and the best performance is by Theron who uses everything she's got. Ryder is also excellent with her close ups, and Caprio rips it all up. The rest are pretty good, although puffy-faced Brannagh doesn't cut it: channelling Woody Allen is OK at first, but mostly irritating. The female lead also struggled. And Sam Rockwell gets his perm wet in the bath. It's stylish, but impossible to discuss without mentioning the actors by name. So something went wrong with the story, and it dragged a lot - at 60 mins I thought, "Crrrp - 45 mins to go." Poor story, despite the clever script. Music is good, and the New York boroughs look great. Overall, lots of lovely detail swirling in a bowl of brown water.

With "Celebrity" Woody Allen revisits the cynical, often angry, side he revealed in "Deconstructing Harry," except this time he's not quite as malicious, and --some might say-- vulgar as he was in his last magnum opus. The film is a multi-layered story of individuals who either are or want to be famous, and how their quests affect their lives as well as of those around them. Performances by a first-rate cast range from great to better. Kenneth Brannagh does a fine Woody Allen imitation. Judy Davis deserves an Oscar as his long suffering (now ex-) wife. The screaming teenage fans of Leonardo di Caprio will be shocked and disappointed by his daring performance as a not-so-nice Hollywood hunk. The roster of celebrities putting in an appearance never lets up, as is typical for Allen's films. Overall the movie is Allen's finest in a long long time, and not just by default. It's funny, scathing, angry, and, in an odd way, hopeful all at the same time.

This movie is Woody Allen's best film in about 3 years- since Mighty Aphrodite, at least. Obviously too old for the lead, Kenneth Branagh literally steps into his shoes and does such an effective job at playing Woody that he must have watched every Allen movie at least six times. The film is hilarious but deep--like his best films. It explores our obsession with celebrities and the media's obsession with them, and I wonder how much "acting" Leonardo DiCaprio did for this film. But the more I thought about it afterwards, the more I realized how sad the movie is at its core--the word "help" being written in the sky may be what Allen is thinking--is this what we have become? So obsessed with fortune and fame that we literally prostitute ourselves and become someone we aren't (i.e. Judy Davis' character)? A terrific movie.
