A gorgeous love letter to New York City; evocative, funny, charming, and timeless. The opening montage of Manhattan locales set to Gershwin music is quite possibly the finest first four minutes in the history of the medium (although it helps that I love NYC as much as Allen does). Sorry to shake the boat, but I prefer it to Annie Hall.

I rewatched it last night after a long time, from the period where Woody Allen films were nothing more than something very pleasant for me, and was blown away. It's so windy and light that you immerse yourself completely in it, the compositions, the relationships you don't have. It's all fun and games. Somewhere, just before the ending, you realize you're on an emotional roller-coaster. And you don't believe it cause it's all so easy, but you leave happy, nauseous and shaking. Or is it just me?

Manhattan is a great film, much reminiscent of classic Chaplin films, or even Fellini's. It's filled with funny moments and interesting, full-blown characters you come to care about. The B&W photography, the New York setting (my favorite city) and the vigorous relationship between Keaton and Allen are some of the reasons why I loved this film.

Manhattan is a funny romantic comedy with great direction from Woody Allen. The script is easily the greatest part. The chemistry between Woody and Hemingway was definitely a weird one, but between Streep and Keaton, it was really good.

A beautifully shot and highly evocative film. The relationship between Allen and Hemingway is a bit odd, to be sure, but everything else is uniformly excellent. The Allen/Keaton combination shines again as well, providing the movie's key relationship and acting as the basis for all the major character developments. Funny, insightful, touching - all the qualities one expects from a great Woody Allen movie.

The cinematography is magnificent, Allen and Keaton are both great, there's a lot of funny lines, and the insights about relationships and maturity and everything are meaningful. But man, the whole Mariel Hemingway thing is just creepy. Are we supposed to approve of his desire to be with an adolescent? Or are we supposed to feel a little bit sorry for him? I guess a case could be made for the latter, but I don't think so. Good movie, but kind of unsettling in ways that it shouldn't be.

I knew that I would love the cinematography and the score going in, so those were givens. I'm also a sucker for movies set in New York in the mid to late '70s (funny, 'cause I hate NYC), as well, so it definitely had that going for it, too. But the best part of the movie was definitely Allen's snappy, funny dialogue. And I also enjoyed the message of the film and the fact that all of the neurotics' suffering was clearly their own doing. Oh! And great opening, too. Can't forget that. Wonderful.

I evaluate this movie as a "personal masterpiece of confession" like of Tarkovsky's "Zerkalo" or Fellini's "8,5" and as sincere and artistic as them. First of all this is both and elegy and praise about the metropolitan individual life and its petty depressions and enchantments, that's why Allen's philosophizing has a similar nature: it is both a grand-narrative and cheesy comedy, that's why it has undertones of "nouvelle vague" and dandy culture so strong, a unique masterpiece.

One of Allen's most mature films. While not as funny as Annie Hall, the story is well-constructed and the black & white photography is gorgeous. I also prefer Keaton's character in this as it's a much better fit to Allen's. It also has one of my favorite ending lines in movie history.

This feels like the least caricaturized version of the Woody Allen character. A hilarious self-criticism that often has him backed in a corner defending himself. It may not be his outright funniest picture, but it is sensual and romantic, his most personal and sincere achievement. The cinematography is gorgeous.

"Manhattan" is Woody Allen's zenith and career high point in my opinion. Essentially the perfect romantic-comedy; no cheap jokes, silly gimmicks, or plastic characters. Just great writing, a beautiful score and sensational photography. For me it edges "Annie Hall" as Woody's greatest moment.

Excellent. It looks great, I particularly liked the scene in the planetarium. The writing is as clever and witty as I've come to expect from Allen. However the fact that no-one in the film really has a problem with 42 year old Isaac dating a 17 year old seems like creepy wish fulfilment.

Possibly the most romantic film of all time - a black and white New York landscape set to the tune of 'Rhapsody in Blue' - that still manages to be true to the difficulties and pain of intimate relationships (and with the trademark Allen humour). To me this is the most Allen of Woody Allen films. Hemingway is perfectly cast in her role, a young counterpoint to Keaton and Streep.

Stylistically this movie is brilliant with its nostalgically charming romantic set pieces. It even has some genuinely laugh out loud moments. However plotwise it is impossible not to compare this film to Annie Hall and when doing so it most undoubtedly pales in said comparison.

One of Allen's greatest achievements, this beautifully photographed film never derails (as it happens with "Annie Hall" for example). His humour is at its best and his performance eschews his neurotic themes. The women of the cast are wonderful and Gershwin's compositions are just amazing, perfectly matched with a black and white NY.

This is Woody's sweetly romantic love letter to New York City - set amongst a group of bored pseudo intellectuals who have too much money & time on their hands. The great irony is that they put too much importance on trivial things & they wouldn't know happiness if it was staring them in the face. Meryl Streep is particularly good as Woody's coldly gorgeous ex-wife.

This is Allen's finest tribute to New York. It's witty, well-paced and always feels realistic, treating its central relationship issues with a refreshing lightness which is beautifully complemented by the romantic Gershwin numbers throughout. The ending is sublime and features one of the best final lines of any film. The cast impress, especially Allen and Hemingway (she does a great job offering the film's only sympathetic character), and the black and white photography is exquisite.

Manhattan lacks the flair and freshness of Annie Hall. Being in a general sense a similar movie sometimes it feels like a distant relative but mostly only as a wimpy cousin that is on your nerves all the time because of neverending complaints. Does it capture the essence of Manhattan? Cant' say. What it does clearly capture though is a limp train of thought that even a superb cast (with the exception of Allen himself) could not steer to anything tangible.

"Manhattan" may not be a masterpiece and, thematically, it resembles "Annie Hall" more than it should, but it's still terrific entertainment. It's truly remarkable that Woody Allen's neurotic, pessimistic persona is so enjoyable to watch and that his hilarious philosophical quests are so immensely watchable. Extra bonus goes for the stunning black-and-white cinematography that gives this compelling story of passions and infidelities set in New York City an unexpected poetic aura.

"Art house paedo," I was texted by a friend immediately after walking out of the cinema. In retrospect, with Allen's personal history, his character's relationship with the 17 year-old Tracy (Hemingway) was cringy at best, the last scene of the film multiplying the feeling by a hundred. Having said that, Diane Keaton was spectacularly gorgeous, with the scene in the observatory hitting all the right marks. Beautifully shot, the film would surely be a wet dream for Allen fans. /c BFI Southbank

Oh God I want to go to Manhattan. Only problem is, I'd like to go c. 1979. As Woody Allen. With Diane Keaton. Hilarious and poignant - a favourite part: "I had a mad impulse to throw you down on the lunar surface and commit interstellar perversion." and "Why is life worth living? It's a very good question. Um... Well, There are certain things I guess that make it worthwhile. uh... Like what... okay... um... For me, uh... ooh... I would say... what, Groucho Marx, for one thing" Wonderful.

Woody's most gorgeous film, maybe his best; has an emotional accuracy that's both hilarious and heart-wrenching. It's certainly the best acting Woody's done; though recognizable, he feels like a real person, not a caricature. Keaton's fantastic, and Hemingway's quiet, intermittently heartbreaking performance grows on me more and more as I consider it. I'm not an NYC enthusiast, so the love letter aspect doesn't speak to me, but it doesn't detract either. Great, truly meaningful use of Gershwin.

Saw this as part of my Screen Language Course and was impressed. Never seen a Woody Allen film before, though the mix of artistic direction, story (which in some aspects is quite controversial) and humour makes it a very enjoyable film. It isn't overdramatised either, it has an honesty and realism about it for a contrastingly dishonest world. Suitably, the cinematography shows off the city of Manhattan honorably but not overwhelmingly.

He really tries it again in Midnight in Paris, with an opening bit that is primarily meant as an evocation of a city and a time. But he shows Paris as beautiful, but New York is more powerful and awe-inspiring. With great photography and great use of Gershwin, he really makes New York the legend that it is. Sure, his relationship with Hemingway creeps me out but I enjoy Woody Allen mugging and this really is a subtle, but surprisingly deep film about relationships. Score is not a grade.

(Viewed on 15/09/13): Allen's decision to shoot Manhattan in black and white was a complete masterstroke that enables the film to function on multiple levels: as a much celebrated love letter to N.Y, as a throwback to classic cinema (ensuring its timelessness), and as a bittersweet ode to love and life in a sprawling metropolis. It's his most cinematic and intimate film where aesthetic ambition and his trademark neuroticism dovetailed neatly with a resonance unmatched in his other mature works.

I doubt any actor has ever put more of their insecurities on screen than Diane Keaton. Every movie I see her in I feel like I'm her therapist. The short scene with her and Woody Allen breaking up outside at that cafe is some of the greatest, most self-aware acting I've ever seen. Somehow I'm using "self-aware" as a compliment. I don't know how she does it.

I think I actually prefer this one to Annie Hall, though I can't really say why. I love the writing, the black and white cinematography works really well, and the whole story really connected me with the characters. Woody Allen performs wonderfully if you ask me.

While the dialogue is smart as usual, I have to grade this one down a little. The part of the plot that a 40+ year old is dating a 17 year old high school girl isn't funny and doesn't really work, for me.

Obviously nowhere near as good as Annie Hall, it's still a great movie that would be enjoyed by any fan of Woody Allen.

although it's considered as allen's magnum opus, i feel that this is somewhat a derivative of annie hall (considering how it comes hot on the heels of that). it has its unique allen twist for sure, and the b&w cinematography is gorgeous, but it feels more like the deleted scenes from the year before.

Just couldn't connect with this one like I did with Annie Hall, which I believe is not only more humorous, but more insightful. The opening montage is pretty great; the relationship with the 17-year-old is a bit off-putting.

I'm not fond of Allen's directing and script, but he's certainly funny.
