Where can I watch Irrational Man?

In Woody Allen's 2015 film Irrational Man, the story unfolds on a quaint college campus where Abe Lucas, a jaded philosophy professor played by Joaquin Phoenix, grapples with a profound existential crisis. Struggling with a sense of purposelessness and disillusionment, Abe's life takes an unexpected turn when he begins a passionate affair with his bright and inquisitive student, Jill (Emma Stone). As their relationship deepens, Abe becomes increasingly influenced by Jill's youthful optimism, igniting a spark that pushes him to reconsider his bleak outlook on life.

However, the film takes a darker twist as Abe, inspired by a newfound sense of purpose, contemplates committing an act of moral rebirth that intertwines his fate with that of a local woman in distress. This moral dilemma not only tests the boundaries of his burgeoning romance with Jill but also raises profound questions about morality, responsibility, and the essence of existence itself. Irrational Man cleverly blends elements of comedy, crime, and drama, showcasing Allen’s signature wit while inviting viewers to ponder the complexities of life and the choices we make. With a thought-provoking narrative and strong performances, particularly from Phoenix and Stone, this film offers a compelling exploration of philosophical inquiry wrapped in an engaging storyline.
