Woody Allen must have been feeling good when his new movie, "Café Society," garnered good reviews from many critics during its debut during the 69th Cannes Film Festival. However, his son -- Ronan Farrow -- posted a column one day after the movie debut about the alleged child sex abuse committed by Woody Allen many years ago.

Woody Allen's estranged son with actress Mia Farrow wrote a column for the Hollywood Reporter on Wednesday, criticizing the media for not looking deeper into the child sex abuse allegations on his father. "In fact, when my sister first decided to speak out, she had gone to multiple newspapers - most wouldn't touch her story," Ronan Farrow explained.
Ronan Farrow is referring to his step sister and Woody Allen's adopted child, Dylan Farrow. Ronan added that he personally saw Woody Allen display strange behavior around Dylan.

So how did the "Café Society" director respond to these accusations? "I've said all I can say about it," Woody Allen told the New York Times. "I have so moved on that I never think about it."
The 80-year-old Woody Allen added that he only focuses on his work, making movies that audience would hopefully like. His latest movie, "Café Society," currently has a respectable 73 percent critic rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
But no matter how much success his new movie achieves, it would be hard for Woody Allen never to think about Ronan Farrow and Dylan Farrow's child sex abuse accusations against him. What do you think? Is his son guilty of sexual abuse? Sound off in the comments below!
