Written and directed by Woody Allen, Hannah And Her Sisters is one of the most realistic human dramas portrayed on film. Like most of Woody's movies, the characters are very real people with very real issues that the common person can identify with.
Brilliantly balanced between drama and comedy, the movie tells two parallel stories: Elliot (Michael Caine) who's in love with Lee (Barbara Hershey) who is the sister of his wife Hannah (Mia Farrow), and Mickey (Woody Allen) a neurotic hypochondriac trying to find a purpose for his life.
Woody's characters are well-written as usual, and the actors do an amazing job playing them and displaying real emotions. The dialogue is interesting, romantic, funny and clever.
Overall, one of Woody Allen's masterpieces and an example of how to write interesting, believable characters.
