The story of four characters whose lives intertwine amid the hustle and bustle of the Coney Island amusement park in the 1950s: Ginny, an emotionally volatile former actress now working as a waitress in a clam house; Humpty, Ginny’s rough-hewn carousel operator husband; Mickey, a handsome young lifeguard who dreams of becoming a playwright; and Carolina, Humpty’s long-estranged daughter, who is now hiding out from gangsters at her father’s apartment.

Reviews
RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
masonfisk Woody Allen's latest is a typical foray into 50's Americana, the adulterous affair gone wrong. Justin Timberlake, an astute & well rounded lifeguard narrates the proceedings as he engages a love affair w/Kate Winslet whose marriage is on the rocks from James Belushi & his now estranged daughter, Juno Temple, comes into Coney Island on the lam from her mobster husband. Being too much of a good thing, Allen hedges his bets by telegraphing much of the story beats too soon & writing his characters too on the nose (an affectation that occasionally confounds viewers since his creations reflect too much of his interests rather than stepping out from their bubble organically). A solid miss but the gorgeous cinematography by Vittorio Storaro is worth a viewing.
shelemm This is a beautilfully-acted and compelling drama that is filled with so many great touches of drama and beauty. Don't expect to laugh or even smile at this, but some of the choices the characters confront will intrigue and even amuse you. The movie especially turns on a key moment near the end that is amazing. Watch it for yourself and be very much entertained.
thekingsdom This wasn't for me. It was filmed nicely; however, I found the acting poor and wooden and the dialogue forced. It was also a tad dull. I'm writing this review while watching the dvd lol. 5/10 for me.
czsme Stops without ending, thereby negating some excellent performances. Plot was good 'till they couldn't figure away to close.
