 Here's a Woody Allen film that's been heavily praised by critics on the Trailer and even Roger Ebert gave it 4 Stars.The films also has been Nominated for 5 Oscars including Best Director. Is it a good film or overrated, well let's take a look at...

 
Three Sisters played by Diane Keaton, Kristin Griffith and Mary Beth Hurt, are fully grown up to become woman and now must suffer and go through a painful Divorcee between their Mother (Geraldine Page) and Father (E. G. Marshall). Their Mother Eve is very emotional about the situation and their Father Arthur already has found a new lover named Pearl (Maureen Stapleton). Yes this is a Woody Allen film it's not a comedy it's his first Drama and Woody is behind the camera the whole time then in front of it.



The characters are nothing incredible or memorable but they are likable and well acted. Diane Keaton, Kristin Griffith and Mary Beth Hurt as the three sisters are really good. Their acting is very subtle and realistic and you just got to love everyone of the three. They also have their own problems and the three are very artistic. Keaton's a writer, Griffith is looking for an artistic outlet and Hurt is an actress. My favorite is Kristin Griffith character because I really felt her stress and emotions out of the trio.Geraldine Page as the Mother, I really felt her pain, emotions and unstable mental illness. Maureen Stapleton as the fiancee is very enjoyable, very likable and is probably the best character in the whole film. The boyfriend Mike played by Sam Waterson is another character who's enjoyable but is also full of the same amount of emotions as the characters. E.G. Marshall as the Father does a good job but he doesn't really amuse as much as the characters I just mentioned.

 
The cinematography really pulls you into this realistic film and makes you feel you're with the characters. The film and cinematography style pays homage to film Director Ingmar Bergman and also dramatically spoofs his film "Cries And Whispers". The film mostly takes place in the beach house on Long Island and the cinematography, the set design and the film makes you feel like your there. The film also doesn't have a score and that alone already makes the film very realistic. There's not even any comedy in this film, I mean there are moments when the characters are laughing but it's treated in an average way. Oh and the ending, one of the saddest endings I ever seen.

This a different turn for Woody Allen but it all works. I don't highly recommend it to guys then I do to woman. Personally I enjoyed it and don't worry there's something for you film fans to enjoy in this film. It's a very realistic film, it's not for everybody, especially those who are use to the Woody Allen comedies but it's still a well made movie.

RATING 3/5
