• a lacklustre story but it keeps the viewer watching for its duration
  I'm a fan of Woody Allen films because they're always laced with witty comment and insight into the human condition.This film is no exception but I found that unlike many of Allen's other films the narrative didn't seem to focus enough on anyone in particular (which is surprising given the emphasis on Hannah in the film's title)and that I didn't feel emotionally involved or sympathetic towards any of the characters being portrayed.

However, the best performance is from Michael Caine as the guilt-ridden husband who loves his wife (Farrow) but is infatuated with her beautiful and passionate sister (Hershey). Max von Sydow nearly steals the scene as Hershey's tempestuous artist lover and watch... more info
