Annie Hall Review

Rating: 7/10 (12 May 2015)

Almost immediately, you can tell that there is something different about this film. Woody Allen talks directly to the camera multiple times which is pretty uncommon in films. He seems to almost narrate, however he is shown talking instead of an omniscient voice talking over different scenes. This direct connection to the viewer is a significant point in this film. I enjoyed the variety of settings in this film. While most of the story took place in New York City, Annie and Alvie were also seen at the beach and in California. There is also a beautiful shot of the Brooklyn Bridge shown as Annie and Alvie walk through the city. I enjoyed this film due to the acting style of Woody Allen. Before this film, I had never seen a work done by Woody Allen. His awkward humor really makes this movie great. At its roots or the overall content, once again its another love story while being told in a different way.
