Hannah and Her Sisters

Woody Allen really is a fantastic writer and director, we all know that. He is always able to create amazing characters, fantastic dialogues, simple stories with situations that could happen and real life and none of his stories ever felt forced. All feel real and actually very believable. Hannah and Her Sisters is no exception. An amazing comedy/drama script, that tell us the stories of multiple characters all connected because of three sisters Hannah, Lee and Holly. Family interations, romances, dramatic discoveries or even hilarious moments it's what you are going to find throughout the story. All of the performances are absolutely fantastic, everyone is able to play their parts in the perfect way possible. Dianne Wiest, Woody Allen himself and Michael Caine are my favorite performances of the film. I really enjoyed Allen's hypochondriac character, he was very funny. Dianne Wiest and Michael Caine won an oscar for their performances in this film and both truly deserved it. Hannah and Her Sister is for sure one of Woody Allen's best films.

There’s something about Annie Hall that works so well for me, but every other Woody Allen movie has fallen flat. I need to flesh these thoughts out some time, but there’s something about his characters which makes them so unlikeable and uninteresting. But the problem I think is that the movie clearly finds them SO interesting that there’s a disconnect for me. I appreciated bits here and there, but Allen’s work may just not be for me.
