Magic in the Moonlight, directed by Woody Allen, is a delightful 2014 gem blending romance and comedy. Set in the dazzling 1920s French Riviera, it follows Colin Firth as Stanley, a curmudgeonly magician debunking spiritualists, who meets Sophie (Emma Stone), a charming medium. Tasked with exposing her, Stanley’s skepticism wavers as their witty banter sparks an unexpected connection. Firth’s dry humor and Stone’s radiant charm carry the film, supported by a lush, nostalgic backdrop of elegant villas and jazz tunes.
