Movie Reviews of Hannah and Her Sisters
Movie Review: Hilarious
Summary: 5 Stars
After 17 years since its release I've got to see and own this movie for the very first time.I liked it a lot, and laughed a lot. If Elvis Presley was a king of R'N'R, Woody Allen has to be a king of American Comedy.
His humour is just hilarious and most of the times you really get confused asking yourself whether you're watching a true
life story or just an imagined one. Anyways this movie is about three sisters: Hannah,Holly,Lee.
An accountant by profession, Elliot, Hannah's husband in a Thanksgiving dinner makes the first moves towards Lee,
his wife's sister. He's in love with her and Hannah's sister happens to feel the same for Elliot as she's sick with her lover.
And Holly...falls in love with Mickey (Woody Allen) a TV producer...who all in a sudden is not able to hear with one ear. The doctor suggests for more tests and he's sick worried after he get's to know that one of the possibilities may be "He has a brain tumor". Hilarious and a must see movie...
Movie Review: Thousands of reviews of this film, millions who've seen it....
Summary: 5 Stars
And I suspect they will keep on coming. Woody always wanted to create a synthesis between his famous "wisecracking" style and the serious drama of Scandinavian directors such as Ingmar Bergman, he also wanted to created a portrait of a "fully rounded personality". Well he didnt succeed. He created five. Hannah ( Mia Farrow) , her sisters ( Barbara Hershey and Diane Wiest). Hannah's mixed up husband ( Michael Caine) and of course himself. I've seen this film so many times these characters have become part of my family.And there are many others - Hannah's parents - I haven't even mentioned. I don't think it's possible to make a cinematic film that could be better than "Hannah and her Sisters". It has no axe to grind, it doesn't take sides, it's beautifully acted, it's funny, it's touching, it's serious but then again not...If you haven't yet seen it, where have you been living the past couple of decades....?Movie Review: For my money, only behind 'Annie Hall' in all Allen's films
Summary: 5 Stars
A wonderful mix of moving and funny, thought provoking and silly. There's amazing acting all around from the first rate ensemble cast including Diane Wiest, Michael Caine (both of whom deservedly won Oscars), Max Von Sydow, Allen, Mia Farrow, Barbara Hershey etc.
(Mild spoiler) It features a rare movie happy ending that's actually earned!
This is probably the closest to 'Annie Hall' of all Woody Allen films in the mix of wit, technical proficiency, sophisticated stoty-telling, acting, emotion, etc. He takes a bevy of characters and creates a complex heartfelt portrait of family, lovers, friends, and artists that's funny but with insightful bite. A rare film that acknowledges how wonderful life is, without denying how hard it can be at the same time. Or at least how hard we find ways to make it.
Movie Review: New York and Woody Allen at their best...
Summary: 5 Stars
We have this movie on an old VHS and decided to update to DVD. It is one of our seasonal holiday movies. We begin with ET for Halloween. Then we view Broadway Danny Rose and Hannah and Her Sisters at Thanksgiving. Hannah and Her Sisters is one of Woody Allen's best movies. We enjoy the Thanksgiving scenes in Hannah's wonderful apartment. The season changes shot outdoors are terrific. The story line is believable and the ending is sort of sweet. The next movie is Miracle on 34th Street because it begins at Thanksgiving, then goes to Christmas. Its a Wonderful Life fits in then, followed by the various versions of A Christmas Carol. The one with George C. Scott is the best. Anyhow, Thanksgiving without Hannah and Her Sisters would be just another turkey dinner.Movie Review: You can find people crying loneliness!
Summary: 5 Stars
One of the most ingenious and sarcastic films of Woody Allen about the decay and anxiety of a crowd of people in his mature ages who conform their world around three sisters :Mia Farrow (married with an unfaithful husband) Dianne Wiest (of visible neurotic character) and Barbara Hershey.
A very laughable but also meditative portrait of this existential micro cosmos, that reveals some insights about the style of living of certain ways of living. One of the most significative Opus of this brilliant director visibly influenced at those times (Interiors) for the Bergmanian elusive atmosphere.
Expressive, engaging, haunting and expansive story.
