If you loved Rifkin’s Festival, try Melinda and Melinda

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Woody Allen, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Comedy / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Rifkin’s Festival, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Melinda and Melinda is

A dinner party somehow splits into two identical yet diametrically opposed Melinda origin stories. One Melinda leans into Woody Allen's usual neurotic wit while the other dives into full-on existential despair. Exactly half of each scenario works, the rest just circles the same Manhattan block.
