HANNAH AND HER SISTERS (5 STARS)

Woody Allen usually gets 5 stars. Woody Allen is America's greatest artist.

Hannah and her sisters follows follows the thoughts of 3 individuals, Eliot (Michael Caine), Mickey (Woody Allen), and Holly (Diane West). Eliot loves his wife Hannah (Mia Farrow *swoon*) but has fallen in love with her sister Lee (Barbra Hershey). Holly is a failed actress, who has a drug problem and has bad luck with men. Mickey was once married to Hannah, is a hypochondriac, and works in television. All these characters and many more are introduced and played out in the most fluent way. They all have depth and character. They all have dreams and aspirations.

What a great movie. One of Allen's many greats.

Hannah and her sisters was released in 86 after Purple rose of Cairo and before Radio Days.
