I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Actually I'm disappointed because the movie didn't answer a lot of question, such as:* How on earth the tone slips so gracefully between the gut-busting one-liners and emotionally exhausting romantic moments like that?* How can a black-and-white film still be considered as one of the most beautiful movies ever with its gorgeous cinematography?* How can a 96 min film has such character development? * How can a single quote make a lot of change to the characters and the story itself?* How can a soundtrack that features only the rhythms of songs can speak for the hero at every stage he get through? * How can a movie this complex and presents messages about love and loss seems to be so simple that can be rewatched. .... and many more questions left unanswered.
Mariel Hemingway performance is phenomenal! Hands down one of the smartest and most subtle screenplays ever written!By far, Manhattan is the best Woody Allen movie. By the way, I'm a big fan of Annie Hall.(10/10)

Best review of this movie called it "crime dressed like art". Don't give in to feeding Woody's neuroses.

I love Manhattan. Seriously, this is far better than Annie Hall (okay, not everyone may agree) and it's a movie I can watch regularly. Sure, some are critical of it being in black and white, but that gives it the necessary charm to be a classic. Manhattan is timeless.If you're a devotee of Fast and the Furious, then this movie isn't for you so please move on.The way Woody Allen explores the interweaving relationships is revealing and even entertaining. The Gershwin soundtrack gives it the necessary sweeping emotional landscape. For those who like Manhattan, you have to see Manhattan Murder Mystery, you won't be disappointed.

I'm nineteen years old and I've watched this film through the eyes of a girl of the 2015. I can honestly say that I've been very impressed by the detached and ingenious sarcasm with which Allen depicts a generation, his generation. In Manhattan I've seen first of all the portrait of a generation, the generation of those who lived their forties in Manhattan, the symbol of everything that could be achieved in the 80s. And the portrait depicted is not softened at all, since every single adult in this movie is a neurotic mess. There are adults afraid of cancer, adults that plan to write books they will never end, adults that put their life in the hands of LSD-addicted analysts, adults that talk about orgasms, adults devastated by dull, mediocre men imagined as "gods", adults that waver between homo, bi and heterosexuality, adults that pretend to be intellectuals and try to judge Mozart, Bergman and Scott Fitzgerald, adults whose relationships are stable just as the weather is, adults that act like they believe in the highest values but that in the end need a seventeen-year-old girl to find their balance. And those are the same adults that despise the generation brought up by the TV and the pill. This show of absurdities is well hosted by Isaac Davis, Woody Allen himself, that unprejudiced as always, hides all these paradoxical situations behind a good amount of irony. If I had to make a comparison with a more recent movie, I would say that what Allen did with his generation has been done by Tony Servillo with the current fifty-year-old Roman VIPs, in his latest work La Grande Bellezza. Irony, good acting and a good soundtrack always make a movie worth watching. And this movie can boast the best of everything.
