Hello and welcome to my review of Hannah and her Sisters on DVD. If someone asked me name to Woody Allen's single best film I would seriously struggle to give an answer to that question. The reason why is simple.... there are so many to choose from; Sleeper, Bananas, Radio Days, Matchpoint, Annie Hall, or even Manhattan, which seems to be part of a city that the majority of Allen's stories take place, and in the case of Hannah and Her Sisters that's not a bad thing at all. Hannah and Her Sisters was originally released in 1986 and tells the story of three sisters, who when the film begins we join them at the American celebration time of Thanksgiving, it is ...  Read the complete review

Updated!! ********************** Summary of review : ********************** • This is a traditional, chic-flick (Romantic film) which also has its comic moments throughout. • Watching it back now, you can tell it was made in 1986 and so is a bit dated, but then again classics are always fun to watch, I mean I've watched James Bond hundreds of times! • The actual film itself was recognised with 7 BAFTA nominations, and the writer Woody Allen received two BAFTAs and was nominated for Best ...  Read the complete review

Hannah and Her sisters is surely one of the most well known movies of Woody Allen. It is also, according to some, one of his best movies. I am very partial to Woody and I would not be able to say which one is "the best". However, if you have never watched a movie of Woody Allen, this is probably one of the few you may want to start with. Originally shot and released in 1986 the movie revolves around 3 sisters, Hannah, Lee and Holly. Mia Farrow, at that time Woody's partner plays Hannah. The plot develops around Thanksgiving day, when the 3 sister meet, and it is just an occasion to show some of the hypocrisies of their ...  Read the complete review

Hannah and her Sisters was the last of the movies made by Woody Allen which is the last in a fine run. It shows with great expertise the ongoing shifts in relationships over the space of a single year. As with some of his other movies, this one is set in the upper-class area of Manhattan and concentrates the lives of three sisters played by Mia Farrow, Barbara Hershey and Dianne Wiest. The story also focuses on the partners of sisters 2 and 3 played by Michael Caine and Max von sydow and the 1st sister's ex-husband played by Woody Allen. There are a few other friends and colleagues mixed in but essentially these are the main characters of the ...  Read the complete review

One of Woody Allen's best films, certainly of the 80's if not of all. A great ensemble piece with great acting from all concerned. Hannah (Mia Farrow) is married to Michael Caine, her sisters played by Barbara Heshey and Diane Weist are both very different to the straight laced Farrow. The plot follws the sisters as their lives cross and inetrmingle with an array of different men and family members. The cast are excellent. Michael Caine shows that when he's given a decent script can turn in a great performance, in fact he won best supporting actor for this part. Diane Weist was also brilliant as the aloof sister who flits between men and jobs throughout the ...  Read the complete review
