Summary: The second best Woody Allen movie
Review: And that says a lot! This is really a terrific movie. Beautifully shot and scored, it is perhaps more relevant and timeless than the more spectacular "Annie Hall", which preceded it by a couple of years. Highest recommendation.

Summary: The Best Woody Allen Movie
Review: If you are going to see one Woody Allen film, this is it. If you are going to see two Woody Allen films, see this twice.

Summary: One of the best - a must have.
Review: Now that I have a large screen television with a great sound system I can really enjoy the artistic genius of this great movie. This is Woody Allen at his best. The music and cinematography are outstanding. ( I can recall seeing Manhatten's vista at night while riding the train out of Penn Station. Breathtaking!!!)Just about every possible superlative applied to this movie has all ready been said. I agree with all of them. I also have to admire Woody for insisting that the only way this movie would ever be seen would be in its wide screen black and white format; the way it was shot. If anything this is an artistic icon that belongs with the other great movies of the 20th century. One suggestion: may we have this on DVD packaged, perhaps with Annie Hall and Hannah? Please!

Summary: Best Allen movie
Review: As a seventeen year old, I find myself to be one of the few teenagers who is into Woody Allen. Now as a seventeen year old, I find myself to be the only teenager obsessed with Woody Allen. And this movie is the reason why. I first saw Annie Hall, then Sleeper e.t.c. but this movie is absolutley brilliant. Never has a movie captured Manhattan so vividly like this movie has. Gordon Willis' great cinematography really makes the city a secondary character, next to an all star cast consisting of Micheal Murphy, Diane Keaton, Woody Allen(of course)e.t.c. and a great cameo by Wallace Shawn. This film is brilliantly shot(in B&W), acted, written and directed. If more teenagers would maybe watch films that made them think and really feel, this a great one to get you started.

Summary: Flawless comedy--as good as it gets
Review: One of the most beautiful, funny, and heartbreaking comedies ever made--a love letter to Allen's favorite city and a wise examination of the absurdities, miseries, and joys of love. The opening sequence could make a mountain hermit take a tour of New York.

Summary: Woody Allen & New York city , a no-lose situation!
Review: Manhattan gives us both beautifull pictures and images of new york city and shows us how much woody allen truly loves it .Clearly evident his admiration for the city is shown in the movie's first few minutes.Allen brilliantly entertains his audience with his witty comments and his idiosyncratic attitude . However the movie takes more of a serious turn rather than a comedic one.Nevertheless , Manhattan is a must see film for viewers who enjoy Woody Allens movies .

Summary: A classic combination of visual beauty and a clever story.
Review: My favourite Woody Allen film and I know I'm not alone here. The film shows the topsy-turvy life of Allen's Issac Davis, a TV comedy writer who has a 17 year old girlfriend, a lesbian ex-wife who is writing a 'warts and all' account of their marriage and a new love interest who can meet Allen's neurotic excess (which takes some doing!). Picture shows off New York magnificently and is filled with humourous dialogue. Eg: Allen says to Keaton in a taxi: 'You look so beautiful tonight I can hardly keep my eyes on the meter' and later when various relationship complexes are unravelling: 'This is shaping up like a Noel Coward play. Someone should go out and make some martinis.' Joyous filmmaking.

Summary: A true valentine
Review: Woody Allen shares all of his love for the city of New York in one, amazing, beutifful, and flattering film. It's hard to believe that while all of showbuisness was declaring New York a dead town, Mr. Allen showd through celluliod, that it is a town of vast passion. And like the city it represents, Manhattan is at once tough, magnificent, and breathtaking. A tragic piece of bitter sweet cinema.
