Irrational: Manhd

Woody Allen's 2015 film Irrational Man is a complex mix of philosophy, romance, and dark crime that critics generally view as a middle-tier entry in his massive filmography. While it features strong lead performances and intriguing existential themes, it is often criticized for feeling "dated" and over-reliant on narration.

The film follows (Joaquin Phoenix), a depressed philosophy professor who arrives at a small Rhode Island college in an existential slump. He begins a dalliance with a lonely fellow professor, Rita (Parker Posey), and forms a close bond with a bright student, Jill (Emma Stone). Abe’s life takes a sudden turn when he overhears a stranger's plight involving a corrupt judge; believing a "perfect" murder will give his life meaning, he sets a plan in motion that revitalizes his spirit but leads to dark consequences.
