Variety
One of Woody Allen's great films. Indeed, he makes nary a misstep from beginning to end in charting the amorous affiliations of three sisters and their men over a two-year period.

Hannah and Her Sisters / Reviews
Total Film
The film weaves a rich Chekhovian mix, full of wry insights into the fragility of human emotions.
Full reviewTime Out
It is an articulate, literate film, full of humanity and perception about its sometimes less-than-loveable characters.

The New York Times
A dramatic comedy not quite like any other, and one that sets new standards for Mr. Allen as well as for all American movie makers.

The Guardian
Caine's performance, so fervent, so agonisingly dedicated, actually gains in force and touching sincerity with the years.

Roger Ebert
Allen's writing and directing style is so strong and assured in this film that the actual filmmaking itself becomes a narrative voice, just as we sense Henry James behind all of his novels, or William Faulkner or Iris Murdoch behind theirs.

Los Angeles Times
Perfection is boring, but boring is the very last word to describe Hannah and Her Sisters, which just may be a perfect movie.
