Terrific writing

Rating: 8/10 (10 December 2003)

I love the writing in this film. It is charming, witty, and often very humorous. The literary, religious, and cinematic references were very much appreciated. And of course the writing's full vitality is reached because of the performances of Allen and Keaton primarily. It takes such strong material to make the generally unheroic appearance of Allen sympathetic. If you are ever in the mood to wash out the bad taste of the latest mindless special effects blockbuster, I suggest popping the erudite Annie Hall into your DVD player 8/10.
