Reviews for Hannah and Her Sisters
Top CriticIt is an articulate, literate film, full of humanity and perception about its sometimes less-than-loveable characters.
06/24/06
Top CriticOne of Woody's best ever; a highly intelligent and witty comedy with a magical script and perfect portrayls of well rounded characters.

Top CriticAnother masterpiece.

Top CriticRomantic sentiments...drive all the lust--and blood--out of the picture.
10/19/01
Allen waxes snide, and, despite the huge cast, there's not much going on.

The plot could easily have been an afternoon soap opera, but Allen has infused it with wit, a superb cast and his usual 'the best direction is the least direction' style, so that the camera never calls attention to itself.

Allen's way of setting himself up as a fount of moral wisdom is as insufferable as ever, but at least the preachiness is alleviated by some genuine wit.
10/10/07
The comedy-drama succeeds as a sharply pointed portrait of sibling rivalry.
09/14/08
Sharply written and extremely well-acted, Allen's serio-comic ensemble-driven saga about one large neurotic family, a huge artistic and commercial hit at the time, is arguably his last great picture.
02/28/08
Perhaps the best of the later Woody Allen projects
09/12/02
Filled with tart observations and clever asides on the warps of contemporary culture.
03/27/04
The tangled web of relationships is very effectively done, but just as affecting is Allen's portrayal of the city he loves.
10/14/09
Despite Allen's wide-spread neuroses, he does not only a fair take on one woman's issues, but a handful of theirs.
07/10/03
Like many films in the Allen oeuvre, the plot plays second fiddle to the issues. Which is not to say there is no story. There is. But it’s more a slice of life.
