Dolores Barclay Associated Press Is Hannah and Her Sisters, the 14th movie written and directed by Allen, worth the wait? No. Oct 22, 2018 Full Review David Robinson Times (UK) Allen is one of the rare clowns with the gift of discovering the universal upon his own doorstep. Dec 31, 2017 Full Review Gene Siskel Chicago Tribune The marvel of Hannah and Her Sisters is just how many fully realized characters and relationships Allen is able to weave into the fabric of this extraordinarily well-written film. This script is one to be studied by aspiring filmmakers. Rated: 4/4 Feb 10, 2014 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy A wondrous work so beloved in its day that the jurists for the Pulitzer Prize pushed for its script even though it was written for a film instead of a play (unfortunately, the Pulitzer committee said no way). Rated: 4/4 Jun 5, 2024 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...an erratically-paced yet mostly satisfying endeavor... Rated: 3/4 Jun 7, 2023 Full Review Scott Nye Battleship Pretension The finest film I've seen from the year I was born remains quite a thing indeed. Dec 8, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Leaburn O Only ever a marginal fan of Woody Allen, this one breaks the rule. Smart, witty, adult themes and a great examination of relationships. The key is the perfect pacing and stellar acting. It’s a great cast, it’s brilliantly written and directed. To my mind this is Allen’s masterpiece. Watched on DVD. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/06/24 Full Review Blu B All Time Classic. It's amazing how with such an esemble of characters none of them blend in at all and keeps things simple. It moves very effortlessly between each characters dramas and really nails it when it wants to be funny with the trademark fast talking sleek Allen style of humor. It also has a low key happy ending as well. It's excellently made all around. Even the classical music is catchy and memorable to it. A sharp script that balances humor and drama perfectly. Everyone should give this a try. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/24/24 Full Review Alexsander F Um filme que me pegou do inicio ao fim, com ótimos diálogos o tempo todo, trata bem o existencialismo, as nossas aflições e de alguma forma mirabolante, termina com um final "feliz". O longa traz também ótimas referências de poetas e escritores. Lembra muito o diálogo dos filmes do Buñuel e do Bergman. Um filme sútil, porém profundo, que nos faz refletir bem sobre o que é à "vida". Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/11/24 Full Review nick s A little chaotic and a lot of character arcs to follow. However, there are a bunch of fun moments to reward the audience's patience. Good energy and movement in the scenes. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/11/23 Full Review Alejandro E Once again, Woody Allen resorts to his favorite topics without repeating himself: religion, psychoanalysis and Groucho Marx. On this occasion the core of the story is marriage; supported by an inimitable cast. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/26/23 Full Review matthias s "Hannah and Her Sisters" is a delightful rollercoaster of emotions woven into an engaging narrative. Woody Allen's masterful storytelling takes us on a journey through the tangled lives of three sisters, each facing their unique struggles and desires. The characters are portrayed with depth and wit, drawing you into their world effortlessly. The film's charm lies in its witty humor, heartwarming moments, and unexpected twists. Allen's signature blend of comedy and drama keeps you hooked from start to finish. The ensemble cast delivers stellar performances, especially Mia Farrow, Dianne Wiest, and Barbara Hershey, whose chemistry and rapport are a true highlight. While the film captures the complexities of human relationships, some subplots lack the same depth, leaving a few loose ends untied. Nonetheless, "Hannah and Her Sisters" remains an enjoyable and thought-provoking experience, exploring the intricacies of love, family, and the pursuit of happiness. A must-watch for fans of Woody Allen's unique storytelling style. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/11/23 Full Review Read all reviews
