Irrational Man, Woody Allen, 2015

Allen's memoir went on at length about how poorly educated he was which made all the talk in the early scenes about academics and philosophy seem false and embarrassing. But once it gets past that it was pretty good.

An impotent alcoholic depressive (Joaquin Phoenix) arrives at a northeastern college where he'll be teaching philosophy. Someone tells him he needs a "muse". He starts dating a student, but it's only plotting a murder that gives him a new lease on life. He cheers up, starts eating better and his sexual dysfunction goes away.

The movie is like a cross between Strangers on a Train and another thing.

The plot twist in the third act wasn't much of a surprise. A little surprised at how he dealt with it, though.
