Reviews for Hannah and Her Sisters
Allen waxes snide, and, despite the huge cast, there's not much going on.

Hannah is a masterpiece, a triumph of aesthetic balances like nothing the writer-director achieved previously or since, and a pinnacle of American moviemaking.
08/17/03
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.

Top CriticDespite 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
A dramatic comedy not quite like any other, and one that sets new standards for Mr. Allen as well as for all American movie makers.

Top CriticNo matter how passive a viewer you are, how much you attempt to dismiss it or judge its characters, Woody Allen reaches past those sleepy, cynical, or questioning eyes and makes you think as much as any film I've seen.

Perhaps the best of the later Woody Allen projects

One of Allen's best; all-around great performances, witty with a strong script.
08/30/02
One of the best movies of Woody's mid-80's "second wind."
07/25/02
A showcase of great acting.
02/28/02
[Allen] treats each character with affection and good judgment as he deals with their weaknesses and sad-eyed smiles.
01/27/02
Romantic sentiments...drive all the lust--and blood--out of the picture.
10/19/01
An unequivocal classic
10/14/01
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.
01/01/00
Allen's writing and directing style is so strong and assured in this film that the actual filmmaking itself becomes a narrative voice, just as we sense Henry James behind all of his novels, or William Faulkner or Iris Murdoch behind theirs.
