Film Frat

I'm not a Woody Allen fan by any measure. I tried watching two of his relatively new movies (Mighty Aphrodite and Don't Drink the Water), but I got bored within 10 minutes. Judging by said films and clips from other movies he's in, Allen plays the ...read the complete Annie Hall movie review at Film Frat

The BigScreen Cinema Guide - Reader Reviews

It's the actual film that beat "Star Wars" for best picture. In a year when both "Star Wars" and "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" were released and were big hits, society kind of assumed that one of them was going to walk off with the best ...read the complete Annie Hall movie review at The BigScreen Cinema Guide - Reader Reviews

Quick Reviews (J.D. Funari)

Remarkable film; innovative direction, consistently funny sequences, insightful dialogue: Woody Allen before he became his current diluted self. Along with When Harry Met Sally... this is one of the best relationship movies ever made. ...read the complete Annie Hall movie review at Quick Reviews (J.D. Funari)

Time Out

These were the days when Allen was still a comedian who happened to make films, rather than the comic film-maker he became. (Don't believe it? Then read film editor Ralph Rosenblum's account of the film's chaotic creation in the cutting-room, in his ...read the complete Annie Hall movie review at Time Out

Doug Pratt's Laserdisc Review

At the time when Annie Hall was released theatrically, it was an important step for film comedies. Both Woody Allen and Mel Brooks had been making theme comedies--a funny western, a funny science fiction movie, etc.--and from that perspective Allen's ...read the complete Annie Hall movie review at Doug Pratt's Laserdisc Review

25frames.org (Christoph Huber)

Bei dieser oscargekrÃ¶nten TragikomÃ¶die zeigt sich Allen in Hochform. Als gebeutelter Komiker Alvy Singer hofft er auf eine Beziehung mit Diane Keaton , wÃ¤hrend ihn episodenartig seine Vergangeheit fast genauso quÃ¤lt ie die Gegenwart. In vieler ...read the complete Annie Hall movie review at 25frames.org (Christoph Huber)

Screen Scene (Keith Dumble)

The first of Woody Allen's intelligent character comedies, Annie Hall is a tale that has become typical of the director's recent style. In it, he plays a character so close to his own that there is virtually no difference, and the paranoias and ...read the complete Annie Hall movie review at Screen Scene (Keith Dumble)

Problemet med Ã¥ anmelde en veldig god film er at anmelderen har lett for Ã¥ fÃ¸le seg utilstrekkelig. Har man latt seg henfÃ¸re av en regissÃ¸rs geni kreves det minst like stor kunst Ã¥ komme pÃ¥ noe briljant Ã¥ skrive om opplevelsen. Ha derfor pÃ¥ ...read the complete Annie Hall movie review at DVDnett.no

"Annie Hall" is a very good comedy about relationships, from a realistic rather than romantic viewpoint. The film has many quirky and original comic techniques, all of which work. While not Allen's best film ("Manhattan" is even better), its strict ...read the complete Annie Hall movie review at filmsgraded.com (Brian Koller)

Eric David

Subtitled "a nervous romance," Annie Hall rides Alvy Singer's stream-of-consciousness as he relives his failed romance with the title character. The film is replete with stylistic innovations: fractured narrative, flashbacks, flash-forwards, internal ...read the complete Annie Hall movie review at Eric David
