Here's what's weird: I can now see in this old favorite the seeds of everything I dislike about his recent films. Much of the dialogue is clunkily expository and/or tin-eared; supporting characters (e.g. Daniel Stern's gauche rock star) often function as straw-man caricatures; source music is used as a cudgel. Yet it's mostly glorious, and I spent the whole damn movie trying in vain to pinpoint the difference. In the end, I think Tarantino may be right, at least in this case and some others: Woody's just old now, and his work has become correspondingly creaky, with its highs diminished and its flaws hugely magnified. In any case, he was unmistakably at the top of his game here—though he's…

I love New York. I love living in New York, I love the style of the city, the distinct feel of each season, the buildings, the streets, everything. But one thing I love more than New York is amazing character development in movies, and Hannah and Her Sisters has that and New York.

"how the hell should I know why there were nazis? I don't even know how the can opener works."
first off, i have to confess that i have an aversion to dianne wiest, and that plays a factor. but negated by Michael Caine? i think so.
one of Woody Allen's most profound and textured films, but so overbearing it's hard for me to stomach in one fell swoop. like a Chekhov play (though Ibsen is the playwright name-checked) that's ellipsed into tatters. it's so successful in conveying Allen's neuroses that it becomes an extremely anxious experience, which clashes with the overriding amiability.

Every now and then I get in a rut with movies where no matter what I’m watching my brain wanders. I never get fully invested and I’m always confronting my stream of consciousness with the same attention as my active engagement. And then a movie comes along and snaps me out of it. Today that movie was Hannah and Her Sisters.
Despite the comfort they always used to bring me, I hadn’t watched a Woody Allen movie in over five years. I’ve always loved how he lets full scenes play out in uninterrupted shots, with just a few moments of blocking for visual flair. The performances are natural enough to feel real, but not too real to the point it…

"I had a great time tonight; it was like the Nuremberg trials."
While not as groundbreaking as the paradigm-shattering Annie Hall or as gleefully imaginative as the likes of Zelig and The Purple Rose of Cairo, Hannah and Her Sisters is arguably Woody Allen's most graceful film and is certainly the most buoyant of his major works. The multigenerational family saga yielded a trio of little gold men (for Caine, Wiest and Allen's script) and proved one of Allen's biggest box-office scores.
Hannah (Mia Farrow) gets pride of place within the film's title, but it is nonetheless an ensemble piece through and through, with two primary narratives and five principals amid a host of ancillary characters. Acclaimed stage actor Hannah…

Sisters Hannah (Mia Farrow), Lee (Barbara Hershey) and Holly (Dianne Wiest) navigate their lives over the course of two years, in Woody Allen’s comedy-drama co-starring Allen, Michael Caine, Max Von Sydow, Maureen O’Sullivan and Lloyd Nolan.
The film won an Oscar for the script, which is excellently written, making each character feel realistic and complicated, each with their own distinct values and flaws. Caine got his first Oscar for playing Hannah’s husband, and gives an excellent performance, making his character still sympathetic despite his often unlikeable actions.
He’s really just playing Allen’s alter ego, but unlike a lot of actors who play the director’s self-inserts Caine is able to go beyond just doing an impression, fleshing out the role into…

So disappointing - this used to be my favorite of Allen's films as a teenager. Soon-yi being on screen during Caine's monologue about wanting to "touch her and caress her," followed by Allen's appearence making a child molestation joke is disgusting. Allen's alternate title must have been "Mia and her Daughters." What a fucked up, sociopathic film.

What can I say about Hannah and Her Sisters? I think this is my second favorite Woody Allen film after Annie Hall!
The movie is a feast of witty, hilarious dialogue (as you would expect from Woody Allen) and vivid characters that hooked me right off the bat. Allen makes an engaging story out of ordinary people and strikes a nice balance between drama and comedy. And once again, he effortless pulls me into his romanticized version of New York City to tell a story about four sisters and four men whose lives are intertwined through love and secrets.
Allen deals with a lot of characters and subplots in the movie, but he weaves each narrative thread together in a…
