Additional InformationAllen's pseudo-biopic about 1930's jazz guitarist Emmet Ray (Penn) is a personal tribute by the director to a period of musical history that has inspired and influenced him greatly. Penn immerses himself into the role of the boozing, womanizing Ray with his usual intensity (this time, with a comic slant). Cameos by Allen and author Henton give the film a TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN feel, but it is Zhao's rich photography, as well as the solid musical sequences, that provide the film with its depth. Overall, though, this is a lighthearted effort that aims solely for the funny bone. Morton steals the show as Ray's silently suffering wife in a breakout role that should elevate her to the forefront of Hollywood actresses.
ReviewsPremiere - "...Penn glows....Thurman charms....[Morton is] revelatory..." -- 4 out of 5 stars, Variety - Woody Allen is in a mellow mood with SWEET AND LOWDOWN....A wonderful showcase for presenting some of the great jazz standards he loves so much..., Box Office - ...There's a sweetness to SWEET AND LOWDOWN whenever Penn and Morton interact on screen....Hers is a wondrous performance....Penn, who couldn't give a bad performance if he tried, is also fun..., Total Film - "...Fizzy, fast-paced, eccentric....Penn and Morton both deservedly received Oscar nods..." -- 4 out of 5 stars
