Soon after arriving to teach at a small town college, Abe Lucas (Joaquin Phoenix) gets involved with two women, Rita Richards (Parker Posey), a lonely professor who wants him to rescue her from her unhappy marriage; and Jill Pollard (Emma Stone), his best student, who becomes his closest friend. While Jill loves her boyfriend Roy (Jamie Blackley), she finds Abe's tortured, artistic personality and exotic past irresistible. Pure chance changes everything when Abe and Jill overhear a stranger's conversation and when Abe makes a profound choice, he is able to embrace life to the fullest again. But his decision sets off a chain of events that will affect him, Jill and Rita forever.

Critics Consensus: Irrational Man may prove rewarding for the most ardent Joaquin Phoenix fans or Woody Allen apologists, but all others most likely need not apply.

Reviews

Keith & the Movies

Keith Garlington

“Irrational Man” comes across as paper-thin.

Woody Allen’s frequent, career-long discussions about the dance between the chaotic and designed structures of existence have an intentionally collegiate stage in Irrational Man.

David Walsh

Flatness, lethargy, sluggishness, intellectual exhaustion: these are words or phrases that come to mind throughout.

Richard Crouse

Early on in Irrational Man Abe says, "Much of philosophy is verbal masturbation." I said the same thing about the movie as the closing credits rolled.

Battleship Pretension

Rudie Obias

Allen's messier films appear to be worth more than the sum of their parts and, at least on a thematic level, Irrational Man seems to be hitting that mark.
