DVD Journal

When Woody Allen is at his very best, the comedian-turned-director shows an uncanny knack for dissecting relationships, exposing contradictions and lasering in on the conflicts and insecurities that threaten our hopes of happiness. His filter of comic ...read the complete Hannah and Her Sisters movie review at DVD Journal

Citizen Caine

There's an accepted wisdom that says that you either like Woody Allen and his films or you don't. I'd like to break that wisdom and say that I like Woody Allen films where he's only a minor character, because he's clearly a gifted director and writer (at ...read the complete Hannah and Her Sisters movie review at Citizen Caine

filmcritic.com loves its Sisters

It's not his best, but Hannah and Her Sisters is definitely Woody Allen's second best. The film does everything a Woody film should -- it deals with complex issues in a hilarious way. Up this time, as the title suggests, is the notion of family, as Allen ...read the complete Hannah and Her Sisters movie review at filmcritic.com loves its Sisters

Boxoffice Magazine

MGM's third and final boxed set of Woody Allen films predates the previous set of late '80s and early '90s titles, covering the beginning of the "Mia and Woody" era from "A Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy" in 1982 to "Radio Days" in 1987. For many, this ...read the complete Hannah and Her Sisters movie review at Boxoffice Magazine

eFilmCritic.com (Natasha Theobald)

After 9/11, I remember "Serendipity" being sold as a love letter to New York. If you really want to see passion for the character and charm of the city, you could not, in all probability, do better than this movie. It made me nostalgic for a time and ...read the complete Hannah and Her Sisters movie review at eFilmCritic.com (Natasha Theobald)

Nick's Flick Picks (Nick Davis)

Perhaps the rarest attribute of Hannah and Her Sisters within Allen's body of work, and this is accurately reflected in the title, is its earnest, complex treatment of family, usually a source of broad ridicule for this filmmaker, ...read the complete Hannah and Her Sisters movie review at Nick's Flick Picks (Nick Davis)

Teen Movie Critic (Roger Davidson)

Possibly Woody Allen's most searing drama takes a look at the lives and turmoil, surrounding three sisters (Mia Farrow, Diane Wiest and Barbra Hershey) and fellow family members, whose paths keep crossing each other.
