Tom O’Neill, who does the Gold Derby blog in the LAT, notes that both Variety and the Hollywood Reporter harsh on Woody Allen’s new film, “Cassandra’s Dream.” The Variety writer is so upset he mixes his metaphors: “Like a tragic overture played at the wrong tempo and slightly off-key, Woody Allen’s London-set ‘Cassandra’s Dream’ sends out more mixed signals than an inebriated telegraphist.”
