Hannah and Her Sisters

Woody Allen definitely did not disappoint in this case. He unfolds the fates of six incredibly well-acted characters. These are entertaining, tragic, emotional and overall simply captivating stories and relationships. The cast is amazing and the actors are a joy to watch, you will laugh, believe them, and be satisfied. (01/12/2016)

A romantic drama about the lives of three very different sisters, offering a glimpse into their everyday problems, spiced up with a good deal of wit and irony, which was Woody Allen's forte. It was he, and then Dianne Wiest, who pulled the whole film together as far as the cast was concerned. The script was very well written, and even though it smacked of cliché at times, I still laughed many times (yes, thanks again to Allen). In short, a star-studded American film that is not flawless, but as an afternoon's diversion, it is just perfect. (07/26/2011)

According to feedback, earnings, Oscars, and position among fans, one of the cornerstones of Mistrova's work. To my surprise, it is not one of those absolute masterpieces for me and also brings some changes to the director's natural genre, but it is still unmistakably Woody. His relational labyrinth is this time elevated by two levels and it takes a little effort to understand the reshuffling of relationships with former partners, current relatives, and potential partners, who are also current relatives. The frequent motif of hypochondria also gains a new face, this time expanded from occasional gags into the key storyline of the character Mickey. His associated search for the ideal religion is one of Allen's most original jabs at the manners of modern society. So even though the script is a bit fragmented due to multiple main characters, I really enjoy watching Hana. Especially because of the biting monologues and the optimistic and hopeful tone.

I celebrated Michael Caine's birthday with his first Oscar-winning role. And the party with Hannah and Her Sisters was a success. I saw a pleasantly relaxing, comedy-drama-romance that started great, continued even better and ended somewhat awkwardly, but you can't prevent a happy ending if the filmmaker wants one. And it worked in this case. I also appreciate the fact that none of the characters were superfluous in the end (not even the hypochondriac Mickey, who I thought for a long time was in the film mainly so that Woody Allen could play). And the aforementioned Michael Caine? Perfect (of course), but I have to say that the excellent Max von Sydow was his equal in every respect.__P.S. The film features my favorite song, “I've heard that song before"... I really didn't expect that. (03/15/2012)

A little weaker than I'm used to in Allen's company, to be honest. I would even say that if it wasn't for his character of a peculiar (how else) hypochondriac, I would’ve hardly found my way to the story. Fortunately, there is no shortage of funny lines and the cast shines in front of the camera, which is a joy to watch as well as Woody's wisdom and life experience, something he has richly capitalized on here, but this time, he doesn’t deserve more than 75%.
