The stunning gorgeous cinematography and soundtrack ...

Yea, I have to tell you, and stipulating to the fact that everyone has different tastes, that was about the most beautiful collection of songs I've heard in one place in a long, long, time. I'm not in general a fan of Vince Giordano and his arrangements (or the arrangements Woody chooses in general), but this time Woody got it right. My wife and I could literally have danced all night to those tunes, they came one right after the other, each one seemingly better than the last.

I agree with you about the cinematography, and the costuming, and the sets, really enjoyed those (again, everyone has different tastes).

What confuses me are the overall poor reviews: I usually have little tolerance for Woody's newer offerings (I couldn't stand "Crisis in Six Scenes", or whatever it's called, thought it was humorless except for the last episode), but I can't remember when I've enjoyed one of his films as much as this one. I laughed out loud at a bunch of lines and was engrossed in the story. Who knows? Maybe it's my advancing age, but I thoroughly enjoyed the movie, although I was not at all sympathetic to Bobby and Vonnie and their insistence on (what I think of as) betraying their spouses. Why Woody thinks he appears sophisticated in his continued glorification of this kind of thing is beyond me.

It is indeed visually impressive, with a rich eye and ear for the details of the era. And yes, Jesse Eisenberg seems pretty lost here. I often find that's the case with his films.
