Review of Hannah and Her Sisters (1986) by Kyle G — 20 May 2015
A Woody Allen New York love story, where New York is one of the love threads.
Hannah(Mia Farrow) is one of three sisters in an artistic family. The other two are aspiring, yet unsuccessful in their careers and love lives.The story is a tale of the loves and ambitions of the three sisters.
However it also takes in the tales of 2 men in their lives and I'm not entirely sure this is a plus factor. basically there are too many Woody Allen personas here. The character Allen plays, should be a bit part, but he forces himself to the limelight. Michael Caine's character is entirely unsympathetic and takes up too much of the film. It is called Hannah and her sisters, yet only Dianne Wiesste (MVP btw) is fleshed out here.
It's an enjoyable film with a great story. I just think the focus is askew and there are too many Woody personas. New York looks lovely though and the 5 minutes devoted to New York architecture is very nice.
