The SF Examiner says:

“Cafe Society” is a period romance from the ever-prolific Woody Allen, and let’s quickly get the comparisons out of the way. The film doesn’t rank with “Midnight in Paris,” “Vicky Cristina Barcelona” or a couple other late-career Allen highlights. But it is an enjoyable serio-bauble with, at closure time, some affecting things to say.

The movie contains numerous familiar Allenisms — jazzy music, neurotic New Yorkers, a romantically klutzy protagonist — along with an older filmmaker’s nostalgia and gorgeous production work. The story transpires in two 1930s golden-age settings: glamorous Hollywood and jazz-age New York.

The Movie Matinee Mob will gather monthly at the Albany Twin Theater.  Optional coffee and discussion later at Royal Grounds cafe across the street. 
 
I'll stand by the ticket booth to greet you, and we can try to sit as a group inside (save me a seat!).  Afterward, we have the option of gathering just across the street at Royal Ground cafe to talk about the film--or not, as fits your schedule.  
I hope to see you there!
