United States	Richard Brody The New Yorker	"Woody Allen created, in 1977, a signal work of first-person cinematic modernism"	POS
United States	Dave Kehr Chicago Reader	"Visually and structurally it's a mess, but many of the situations are genuinely clever, and there are plenty of memorable gags."	NEU
United Kingdom	Tom Cox Telegraph	"The baggy, chronologically scrambled story of Hall and Singer's love affair merely serves as an excuse for an indiscriminate series of Allen's best comic lines."	NEU
United States	Jaime N. Christley Slant	"'[It] is made of such durable stuff that it’s liked even by many of the filmmaker's detractors (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Max O'Connell IndieWire	"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."	POS
United Kingdom	Time Out	"He invites viewers to laugh with him at him: rather a subject than an object of ridicule (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Kathleen Carroll New York Daily News	"[It] is, by far, [Allen's] most sophisticated, most emotionally complex film."	POS
