Critics' reviews

"[It] contains more intellectual wit and cultural references than any other movie ever to win the Oscar for best picture (...) [It] is so fresh and alive (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"

Roger Ebert: rogerebert.com
"A comedy about urban love and incompatability that finally establishes Woody as one of our most audacious filmmakers"

Vincent Canby: The New York Times
"Woody Allen created, in 1977, a signal work of first-person cinematic modernism"

Richard Brody: The New Yorker
"Visually and structurally it's a mess, but many of the situations are genuinely clever, and there are plenty of memorable gags."

Dave Kehr: Chicago Reader
"'[It] is made of such durable stuff that it’s liked even by many of the filmmaker's detractors (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"

Jaime N. Christley: Slant
"What makes 'Annie Hall' a film for the ages, however, is how deftly it handles Allen-surrogate Alvy Singer’s neuroses and weaknesses while still remaining empathetic to his problems."

Max O'Connell: IndieWire
"[It] is, by far, [Allen's] most sophisticated, most emotionally complex film."

Kathleen Carroll: New York Daily News
