Annie Hall

A truly beautiful film, and that's no exaggeration - perhaps one of the most beautiful I've ever seen. Everything in it happens so naturally and believably, jokes balance the emotion, the direction is stunningly imaginative in many scenes... And Woody Allen together with Diane Keaton - a match made in heaven! Films like (500) Days of Summer and others that try to emulate Annie Hall look inferior and weak compared to this film. I'm a thousand percent enchanted. (05/29/2013)

Allen is truly an extremely talented filmmaker and each of his films is unique in its own way; they are smart, uninhibited, wholesome, and we don't watch them because we want to, but because we simply need to. Annie Hall is a life story told in pure Allenian fashion, or rather the insertion of his person against the background of partnership problems and their overcoming, not from the point of view of Alvy Singer, but of Allen himself. And that's why this film is so distinctive, original and delightfully humorous, as is all of his work. I hope that his other films, which have eluded me so far, will also be like this. 85% (02/07/2013)

From pondering why Diane Keaton wants to have intercourse with him only under the influence of marijuana to the super humorous scene in the queue, I was amazed at Woody Allen's intellect. This is the biography that the Master wrote for us ordinary guys. Thank you. (12/12/2005)

An unusual film about usual stuff, but I can’t say I’m very thrilled about it. Even ignoring my slight personal antipathy towards Allen, I feel that this film wants to appear very original and smart, but it’s just ordinary and unsilly. Sure, writing and directing a film about traditional and unoriginal stuff in a way that a lot of people will see as a treat for the intellectual elite must be quite hard work, but Annie Hall is only pretending. It’s artificially interesting and, for me, unpleasant. (09/23/2009)

Woody Allen just keeps going. He's an incredible force, and he's a brand. His humor is very specific and may not sit well with everyone, just like the concept of the film, which also might not be your cup of tea. But I enjoyed those unique performances that are so natural yet so peculiar that they simply must entertain you. (10/27/2015)
