Annie Hall

Rating: Null/10 (10 May 2016)

I was apprehensive going into a Woody Allen movie, as I have heard mixed things and many have told me that he's just plain odd. However, after viewing Annie Hall I have a newfound appreciation for Allen as a director. He really utilizes the space of New York City to his advantage, and some of the scenes are just plain iconic. There were some really neat and jarring editing tricks throughout the movie that really broke the fourth wall and yanked the viewer from getting too immersed in the world of Alvy. Woody Allen's characters have an odd charm to them, and some are sure to find Alvy to be a bit too whiny and Annie may be seen as a reflection of that, but I felt that these characters played off of each other very well, and were very entertaining. Allen's films may be an acquired taste to some, but they are definitely worth the watch.
