You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger

You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger (2010) is a Woody Allen tragicomedy you can watch online on iFILM. Set in London, it follows two married couples who quietly wreck their own lives chasing the illusion of being happy.

After forty years of marriage, Alfie (Anthony Hopkins) walks out on his wife for a young call girl named Charmaine. Abandoned, Helena pins all her hope on a fortune teller and swallows every prediction whole. Their daughter Sally (Naomi Watts) is bored stiff in her marriage and falls for her charming gallery-owner boss, played by Antonio Banderas. Meanwhile Sally's husband Roy (Josh Brolin), a stalled novelist, loses his head over the woman across the street. Everyone talks, nobody listens.

This is the English chapter of Allen's European stretch, working the same vein of self-deception he mined in Match Point. A narrator keeps reminding us that life is a tale signifying nothing. Frida Pinto, Lucy Punch and Gemma Jones round out the cast. Stream You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger (2010) online on iFILM.
