Review of Hannah and Her Sisters (1986) by Leon B — 21 Sep 2014

Review:

I had high hopes for this movie because of the critics reviews and the great cast, but the storyline took some time to get going and I was expecting some arguments between the couples and the sisters. That's not to say that it's not a entertaining drama which covers real life matters, but I was expecting more. It could have done without Woody Allen's character but his storyline ended sweet. Personally, I would have enjoyed the movie a bit more if it was just a drama without any comedy, but it is a Woody Allen film which always has it's Jewish jokes. After watching a few of Woody Allen's movies, this has to be some of his best work which is relevant for nowadays. Watchable! .

Round-Up:

Michael Caine put in a great performance in this movie, along with Diane West who seems slightly out of her sweet and innocent comfort zone. Mia Farrow and Barbara Hershey act the same in most of there movies so there performances weren't that surprising. Basically, it's just another one of those Woody Allen movies that deal with troubled relationships so I wasn't that surprised with the outcome.

Budget: $6.4million.

Worldwide Gross: $59million.

I recommend this movie to people who are into there Woody Allen movies about troubled relationships and religion. 4/10.
