   It did play in Baltimore, at the Landmark Theatre. I saw it about a month   
   ago. The film itself is a big step up from "Scoop". I didn't care for it   
   quite as much as "Match Point", which I thought was really excellent, but   
   "Cassandra's Dream" is definitely up there with his best work in recent   
   years, and featured some really strong performances.   
      
   Allen's low-key style was very well-suited to the material, and he wisely   
   kept the film's color very muted, emphasizing the dour and dreary nature of   
   the story.   
      
   The standout performance is definitely Colin Farrell, but Ewan MacGregor was   
   superb as well. Hayley Atwell was good as the actress girlfriend of   
   MacGregor, but I did feel that her character could have been fleshed out a   
   bit more. In fact, that was the overall problem I had with the film-I didn't   
   care enough about the characters and needed more of a reason to believe   
   their motivations. That said, it's still a very strong film, and if you get   
   the chance to see it with an audience, it's well worth it.
