Comedian Alvy Singer (Woody Allen) examines the rise and fall of his relationship with struggling nightclub singer Annie Hall (Diane Keaton). Speaking directly to the audience in front of a bare background, Singer reflects briefly on his childhood and his early adult years before settling in to tell the story of how he and Annie met, fell in love, and struggled with the obstacles of modern romance, mixing surreal fantasy sequences with small moments of emotional drama.

Critics Consensus

Filled with poignant performances and devastating humor, Annie Hall represents a quantum leap for Woody Allen and remains an American classic.

John Simon

New York Magazine/Vulture

Allen is easily our most literate comic, and may just be our most comic littérateur, as readers of his humorous sketches know. But his new film is painful in three separate ways: as unfunny comedy, poor moviemaking, and embarrassing self-revelation.

Janet Maslin

Newsweek

Annie Hall is bracingly adventuresome and unexpectedly successful, with laughs as satisfying as those in any of Allen's other movies and a whole new staying power.

Charles Champlin

Los Angeles Times

Annie Hall is not only Allen's newest film, it is also his best. It seems the most directly and obviously autobiographical.

Film Frenzy

Picking out a favorite sequence is about as impossible as selecting a favorite line of dialogue (although I’ve always been partial to the description of the spider that’s “the size of a Buick”).

Rated: 4/4

Serge Daney

Cahiers du Cinéma

[Allen] is not merely a cinephile-filmmaker as so many are today... he is a filmmaker working from what, in cinema, matters to us now: that every image involves a point of view, that every point of view divides, and that every division is productive.

Awards Daily

One of the most brilliant and inventive comedies, Woody Allen’s Annie Hall is his most grounded and accomplished work. Bittersweet and hysterical, Annie Hall is one of the most quintessential romantic comedies.

Filme legal, o roteiro é legal, o elenco é bom, o filme é um pouco engraçado, gostei do Woody Allen como diretor, escritor e ator, e gostei da atuação da diane keaton, achei legal a história do relacionamento dos dois da forma que foi contada parece uma história verdadeira de amor, depois o filme até parou de ser um engraçado e ficou um mais sério, mas eu recomendo esse filme se gosta de filme de relacionamento.

I have been revisiting some of Allen's older films recently. This is a fun one. It’s much better than the one which preceded it, Love and Death, which almost no one has ever even heard of these days. *** I like the soliloquies and the strange little dialogues he has with strangers passing by on the street. The conversation he has with the vapid critic standing behind him in line at the movies is particularly entertaining. Especially when Allen has Marshall McLuhan waiting in the wings to defend his notion that the professor knows nothing about McLuhan or philosophy generally, even though he claims to be a film professor at Columbia University *** As with any older film, it's always fun to see footage of places like New York City and Los Angeles in the 1970s, a time when I was coming of age and just dying to get out into the world to see these very places. The balcony of Annie's apartment is especially alluring. I would love to know where in the city it is exactly and to be able to stand out on it and take in the view.

The insights on relationships and smart humour are there, forming the foundation for a romance classic, but Annie Hall stumbles slightly in terms of entertainment value.

First time viewing! Neurotic characters abounding in New York (and throwing LA a lot of shade). Most of us... need the eggs.
