It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

There's something wonderful about watching the disintegration of a marriage through the lense of sardonic prose.

I am a fan of Woody.But Without the fact, it is a great movie.First of all,the story is distinctive. Occasionally it includes funny dialogues,for instance a man haunted by a stupid idea.It is so complicated and so funny.If other directer hosted this type of movie,It would be horrible.Above all,It is lovely movie to me.

The Three Acts:The initial tableaux: We start with a Thanksgiving dinner gathering at Hannah and Elliot's house. Sisters Lee and Holly are there. Lee's husband Frederick is a bit too stand-offish for such gatherings. Holly might start in catering, and asks Hannah for a loan to get started. Elliot muses in the opening narration about his attraction to Lee, and how he should stifle it, but cannot. Father Evan and mother Norma, two veteran entertainers, entertain at piano and song.Mickey (Hannah's ex) is a hypochondriac who produces an edgy television show that is frequently in conflict with the censors. Gail tries to keep Mickey on track as he bounces from memory to memory of his past marriage and his past partnership with Norman. Perhaps worst of all, Mickey becomes convinced that he has a brain tumor.Delineation of conflicts: Mickey has to fight his hypochondria, and his slowly waning binding to Hannah. Lee and Elliot have to figure out whatever it is that is going on between them. Holly needs to figure out where she's going in life.Resolution: The threads move forward more or less organically. Nicely done.

The cast in "Hannah and Her Sisters" is very good all around. Woody Allen won an Oscar for his original screenplay, and Michael Caine and Dianne Wiest won acting Oscars.Allen is one of the most successful writers and movie makers about modern life. His forte is his backyard – the big city (usually the Big Apple). So, one expects that the subject will evolve around urban living. In the years of the Great Depression and before WW II, many film settings were urban as well. But those were usually the glamorous, night on the town type of comedies and romances (any mysteries) that entertained people from the cities and the country alike. They could dream about "the good life" or how living like that would be so much fun. Of course, this doesn't include the films about excesses in those areas.But the modern versions of the urban life are quite different. Most often they show people in turmoil, often anxious, despondent, conflicted. They often involve multiple marriages, divorce, infidelity, free sex, and searching for the right person. Almost always the main characters are in psychotherapy or have analysts. Seldom are children even included, and when they are they are barely noticed in the film. There doesn't seem to be much happiness or joy among the characters. And usually, not much laughter or smiling.When the focus of these is comedy, they can be quite entertaining. When comedy is a small part or the focus is more on the drama and travails of everyday life in the big city, I suspect the entertainment appeal is diminished. It may very well be that the masses of people living in the big cities still see these as entertaining and enjoy them. But I suspect that there may be many who don't live such lifestyles or in such surroundings, for whom these stories aren't that funny or entertaining.If "Hannah and Her Sisters" is comedy, it is a comedy of errors. Woody Allen's story covers a wide range of family and personal experiences. We all make mistakes, bad choices, and selfish choices; and we have family and personal problems ranging from personal to health to employment. Most people today have some dysfunction in their families. But dysfunction seldom is funny. Lloyd Nolan's character, Evan, reflects off-screen in one segment of this film, about their children. Norma and he loved having their three daughters, but they didn't care to be with them that much while they were growing up.A good drama from time to can help us reflect, look at ourselves, and recharge our batteries to go on. But, the comedy in films like this is pretty weak, and not everyone will enjoy this or similar films as entertainment.
