	Author	Review
United States	David Wiegand SFGATE	"The performances are winning (...) Allen is working in familiar territory here, eschewing the kind of character complexity that marks his better recent films such as 'Blue Jasmine' and 'Vicky Christina Barcelona'."	POS
United States	Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe	"Allen’s simplistic portrait of the 1960s attempts to stir some nostalgia and light laughs and fails."	NEG
United States	Robert Bianco USA Today	"'Crisis' is a bauble, a light comedy that starts very slowly (...) and builds to a satisfyingly funny conclusion. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"'Crisis in Six Scenes' isn't very good (...) Enthusiasm for that shtick will vary based on love of Allen and how old you are, but there's enough of it to be lightly amusing across about half of these episodes. But that's not nearly enough."	NEU
United States	Ben Travers IndieWire	"'Crisis in Six Scenes' plays like an exasperated filmmaker recycling long-familiar ideas (...) We needed the best of Woody Allen; instead, we got an artistic crisis."	NEG
United States	Matt Zoller Seitz Vulture	"It’s far from the worst thing that Allen has done recently but nowhere close to his finest work; it’s consistently better directed than acted and better acted than written."	NEU
