REVIEWS:

"From the first, soaring notes of Harry James's trumpet playing 'You Made Me Love You,' which is heard behind the opening credits, until the series of reconciliation scenes that bring the film to a close, Woody Allen's 'Hannah and Her Sisters' is virtually nonstop exhilaration--a dramatic comedy not quite like any other, and one that sets new standards for Mr. Allen as well as for all American movie makers. .... It's warmhearted, wise and fiercely funny."

-- Excerpt from The New York Times; February 7, 1986

"Woody Allen's 'Hannah and Her Sisters,' the best movie he has ever made, is organized like an episodic novel, with acute little self-contained vignettes adding up to the big picture. .... Allen's writing and directing style is so strong and assured in this film that the actual filmmaking itself becomes a narrative voice. .... The movie is not a comedy, but it contains big laughs, and it is not a tragedy, although it could be if we thought about it long enough."

-- Roger Ebert; February 7, 1986
