Allen has said that '' Match Point '' is one of his few " A-films " , and even " arguably may be the best film that I 've made . This is strictly accidental , it just happened to come out right . You know , I try to make them all good , but some come out and some do n't . With this one everything seemed to come out right . The actors fell in , the photography fell in and the story clicked . I caught a lot of breaks ! " The film was screened out of competition at the 2005 Cannes Film Festival . '' Match Point '' broke a streak of box office flops for Allen : it earned $ 85,306,374 worldwide , of which $ 23,151,529 was in its North American run . Allen was also nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay
