Annie Hall

Rating: 8/10 (10 May 2013)

While I was watching this movie, I felt like I was living in my crazy and neurotic aunt's diary during her brief stint as an artist in New York City. BUT! That's not to say I didn't enjoy the film, in fact, I thought it was brilliant. Lately, there have been way too many "rom-coms" that are telling the same sort of love story with different actors and actresses, and "Annie Hall" was a nice break from the. Woody Allen, crafts a love story that creatively plays with time and stream of consciousness. The viewers hear about the relationship between Alvy Singer (played by Woody Allen) and Annie Hall (played by Diane Keaton), through Allen's mind, and direct communication with the audience. I feel as if this directness that Allen uses grounds viewers and reminds them that love is bittersweet, but doesn't have to be irrational. If you're looking for a romance movie, but you're sick of all the hokey stuff that today's movies have, "Annie Hall" is a perfect choice!
