The marvel of Hannah and Her Sisters is just how many fully realized characters and relationships Allen is able to weave into the fabric of this extraordinarily well-written film. This script is one to be studied by aspiring filmmakers.

Perfection is boring, but boring is the very last word to describe Hannah and Her Sisters, which just may be a perfect movie.

Sheila Benson, Los Angeles Times

Hannah and Her Sisters is structured ingeniously so that seemingly separate stories eventually merge in satisfying ways.

Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel

Hannah and Her Sisters is also filmmaking of consummate skill and emotional range. It encompasses brilliant comedy and almost unbearable poignance -- often in the same scene.

Desmond Ryan, Philadelphia Inquirer

Allen weaves together the complex narrative strands with ease, punctuating the many variations on betrayal and love with three festive Thanksgiving dinners.
