"Meetin’ WA (1986) by Tomsutpen Thanks to Matt Prigge, I’ve spent the past 26 minutes watching Meetin’ WA, a 26-minute film about Woody Allen, shot in New York by Jean-Luc Godard. A good portion of the short is dedicated to a fairly formal, almost junket-style interview, with Godard asking the questions, sometimes with the help of a translator, and mostly concerning Woody’s then-new release, Hannah and Her Sisters. Godard then inserts his typically pointed commentary via almost non-sequitor intertitles and film stills. It was particularly interesting for me to see this so soon after hearing the full story of why Godard didn’t direct Little Murders, th "

"Most people would give a nod to Annie Hall as being the most loved Woody Allen film. I feel it overshadows Hannah and Her sisters understated love stories all three sisters and the people that come in an out of their lives reflect the true to life emotions of relationship that occurs at every stage of life. Thoughts we think but dare not mention like Michael Cain infactuation for his sister in law. I have a lot of favourite scenes but can relate to bad date gone wrong woody allen date with the youngest of the sisters. This film showcases the ingeniuty of human endevours to feel love and be loved however farfetched our own imanginings of what love is. Hudle up under a blankie and escape to the sidewalks of New York with the Maestro that is Allen. "

"Released: 1986Director: Woody Allen *****Oh, Hannah...you and your sisters (Lee played by Barbara Hershey and Holly played by Dianne Wiest) are as neurotic as writer/director/co-star Woody Allen. Hannah is perfect, with a perfect husband (Michael Caine), a perfect house, a perfect former career (actress), a perfect Thanksgiving. Lee, basically unemployed, and Holly, a struggled actress, can never measure up. Their world becomes complicated when Elliot (Caine) admits to loving Lee, setting into motion an affair. See, Lee is living with a stick in the mud professor, Frederick (Max von Sydow), out of whom she gets no pleasure. Then there's Holly, always in Hannah's shadow... Know what? It would be far easier to diagram the relationships and stories in Hannah and Her Sisters with a flow chart than "

"After seeing so many of his films, it's easy to forget that Woody Allen is a great filmmaker. Although a director as proflic as Allen has made film that range from masterpiece (Annie Hall, Interiors) to garbage (Everyone Says I Love You) the truly great movies in his ouvre make delving into his huge filmography worthwile. Hannah and Her Sisters is such a picture. At this point, it's customary to describe the plot, but this film does not have one, at least, a conventional sequence of events. It's collection of different intrigues regarding people who know Hannah (Mia Farrow). They include her two sisters of the title, Lee (Barbara Hershey), who is an unsatisfied relationship with Frederick (Max Von Sydow), a much older artist; the insecure Holly (Diane Wiest), who is hoping to start a relationship with an architect (Sam Waterson), Hannah's husband Elliot (Michael Caine), who is infuated with Lee, Hannah's parents (Lloyd Nolan and Maureen O'Sullivan), who fight constantly; and fam ...

"How Woody Allen consistently (and almost annually, I might add) writes such well written, well rounded and yet personal screenplays is beyond me. This one definitely has his touch and yet seems the most honest and realistic of his films that I've seen to date (I'd say a close second is Another Woman, and I haven't seen Interiors or Manhattan yet). How he manages to jump between all of the lead character's lives so effortlessly and have the audience keep up with all of the various story lines is beyond me. Hidden inside this screenplay are some of Woody Allen's best gems, both dramatic and comedic. Pure genius. "

"Hannah and Her Sisters is a warm, funny and genuine film about families in general and the intertwining lives of three adult sisters. It deals with the connections that alter with the successes and failures that each family member brings with them into their relationships-- this may not sound like a Woody Allen picture, but it has his stamp all the way through it. There is also a fine minor leimotif about creativity that also runs through the film, as painters, writers, perdormers and even rock musicians make their appearances, and even poetry is used to woo oe sister by another's husband.I don't think I've ever seen a more anxious and gratifying performance out of Michael Caine, and Dianne Wiest and Barbara Hershey are also astounding. This movie seems to have been filmed at the zenith of the Farrow/Allen blended family, and both their performances are relaxed and responsive. This is a terrific film for anyone just discovering Allen's talents or just interested i ... "
