The marvel of Hannah and Her Sisters is just how many fully realized characters and relationships Allen is able to weave into the fabric of this extraordinarily well-written film. This script is one to be studied by aspiring filmmakers.
Perfection is boring, but boring is the very last word to describe Hannah and Her Sisters, which just may be a perfect movie.
Hannah and Her Sisters is structured ingeniously so that seemingly separate stories eventually merge in satisfying ways.
Hannah and Her Sisters is also filmmaking of consummate skill and emotional range. It encompasses brilliant comedy and almost unbearable poignance -- often in the same scene.
Allen weaves together the complex narrative strands with ease, punctuating the many variations on betrayal and love with three festive Thanksgiving dinners.
Its plot has the elegant geometry of a Philip Barry play.
Audience Reviews for Hannah and Her Sisters
What makes this film so special and unforgettable - right there with its flawless structure, impeccable direction, three-dimensional characters and phenomenal dialogue - is how Woody Allen is won over by such a surprising amount of optimism, and the result is just perfection.
Super Reviewer
The pastiche structure of this film is complex though sometimes unsatisfyingly slow. This dysfunctional literati family struggles with passive-aggressive sororal jealousy and spousal musical chairs. The titular character is the least developed. Hannah's acting talent and togetherness is only talked about through pervasive monologues; her strengths and demons are never really shown. Nice uncredited cameo from caterpillar-browed Sam Waterston from "The Newsroom"!
