DVD Reviews of Hannah and Her Sisters

DVD Review: Very enjoyable
Summary: 4 Stars

I thoroughly enjoyed this Woody Allen movie. A great study of a disfunctional relationship among three very different sisters who are very close to each other. This is definitely the best Allen's movie I've seen so far. Excellent script, wonderful acting, and feel-good ending. I'll definetly continue exploring Allen's works.

DVD Review: Excellent
Summary: 5 Stars

If you've viewed any of MGM's other DVD editions of Allen films, you'll know what to expect from this one. The A/V quality is excellent: the beautiful 35mm visuals are well served by a fine transfer from a clear, sharp print. Scene selections are comprised of titled thumbnail images. The dubbed French dialogue track is just fine. The Spanish track is equally well-voiced, but muddy, a bit too loud and ultimately artificial. The English, Spanish and French subtitles are all as good as can be expected. The theatrical trailer is also included.

For those who have seen this film, I don't need to sing its praises. For those who haven't, there are few other films in Allen's oeuvre as terrific as this one. Like its thematic successor, "Husbands and Wives," this deft character study is perfectly performed by a famously accomplished cast, and brilliantly shot with a keen, nuanced attention afforded to the film's surroundings, characters and milieu in every scene. Some of Allen's films are trite routines, some are inspired entertainment and a handful are genuine artistic achievements - this is among the latter.

DVD Review: Woody can still make Good Ones
Summary: 4 Stars

I'm an old guy. I saw Bananas and Alfie when they came out. Woody can write dialog with the best but it doesn't hurt to have Caine and the other talent to speak the parts. I gave this 4 stars but I liked it 4.5 or 5. But I know I'm not the herd.
Funny but when I think of Alfie with his relationships with woman and then Caine in Hannah, well... so many similarities. So this may be called a chick flick but I liked it a lot and I'm a guy.

DVD Review: 3.5 stars out of 4
Summary: 4 Stars

The Bottom Line:

One of Allen's warmer entries and his best film of the 80s, Hannah and Her Sisters features his usual fine dialogue in addition to great acting by Caine and Von Sydow, an abundance of humor, characters the audience cares about and a suprisingly moving conclusion; if you like Woody Allen and haven't seen this one, please do.

DVD Review: CLASSIC WOODY, AT HIS BEST
Summary: 4 Stars

this is one of the best woody allen movies, along side annie hall. too bad they dont make movies this good anymore.

Description of Hannah and Her Sisters

Brimming with laughter, tears and subtle beauty, Hannah and Her Sisters is a magnificent "summation of [Woody Allen's] career to date" (The New York Times). Winner* of three Oscars?(r) and featuring a brilliant all-star cast, Hannah and Her Sisters spins a tale of three unforgettable women and showcases Allen "at his most emotionally expansive, working on his broadest canvas with masterly ease" (Newsweek)! The eldest daughter of show-biz parents, Hannah (Mia Farrow) is a devoted wife, loving mother and successful actress. A loyal supporter of her two aimless sisters Lee (Barbara Hershey) and Holly (Dianne Wiest), she's also the emotional backbone of a family that seems to resent her stability almost as much as they depend on it. But when Hannahs perfect world is quietly sabotaged by sibling rivalry, she finally begins to see that she's as lo st as everyone else, and in order to find herself, she'll have to choose ?- between the independence her family can't live with?...and the family she can't live without. *1986: Original Screenplay, Supporting Actress (Wiest), Supporting Actor (Caine)
Considered by many to be Woody Allen's best film, even over Annie Hall. Hannah and Her Sisters follows a multitude of characters: Hannah (Mia Farrow), who plays den mother to her extended family; her sister Lee (Barbara Hershey), emotional and a bit of a flake, who's involved with a much older artist (Max Von Sydow), who treats her like a child; and Hannah's other sister, Holly (Dianne Wiest), a neurotic who feels incapable of managing her life. Hannah's husband Elliot (Michael Caine) falls in love with Lee, which sets off a series of upheavals. Allen gives one of his best performances as Hannah's ex-husband Mickey, who--much like Allen himself--is obsessed with death and unhappiness. But a simple summary doesn't begin to capture the warmth and intimacy of this movie; though the story follows a capsizing family, the outcome is surprising, joyous, and richly human. --Bret Fetzer
