Manhattan Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Seeing it again I realize it's more subtle, more complex, and not about love, but loss.
Slant Magazine
Jaime N. Christley
Gordon Willis's too-dark lensing is an ideal match for the Scenes from a Marriage-inspired sequences of marital and amorous discord.
The New Republic
Stanley Kauffmann
What George M. Cohan did with the Stars and Stripes in 1919, Allen is doing with neurosis in 1979: waving it, telling us that as long as we're proud of it, we're all pretty damned OK. That's the real romance of Manhattan.
Washington Post
Gary Arnold
With Manhattan, a sparkling romance about the overspecialized anxieties of overintellectualized New Yorkers, Woody Allen has bounced back from the sobriety of "Interiors" to an exhilarating new comic high.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
Allen serves up a nostalgia that was utterly of its time; he incarnates an idea of the city that, even now, remains as strong as its reality and refracts his disappointed ideals into high existential crises.
Village Voice
J. Hoberman
Manhattan is not just Woody Allen's dream movie. Wistful as it is witty, it's his dream of the movies.
Variety
Variety Staff
Allen has, in black and white, captured the inner beauty that lurks behind the outer layer of dirt and grime in Manhattan.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
Woody Allen's great leap forward into character development and dramatic integrity.
New York Times
Vincent Canby
Mr. Allen's progress as one of our major filmmakers is proceeding so rapidly that we who watch him have to pause occasionally to catch our breath.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Allen's stunning use of black-and-white cinematography (by Gordon Willis) and music score by Gershwin makes this meditation on love and life in New York one of his most memorable.
Common Sense Media
Renee Schonfeld
Bittersweet romance with mature themes, sex, profanity.

Josh Larsen
Has self-flagellation ever been this elegant?
Cinema Crazed
Phil Hall
It feels like a mean-spirited parody of Annie Hall.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...a film that one admires more than anything else.
Film Freak Central
Bryant Frazer
Manhattan is one of the greatest films ever made, with a final passage that's truly devastating.
Movie Metropolis
James Plath
In "Manhattan," Allen has more to say about people, relationships, and human nature than he does in "Annie Hall" . . . but what he says, apart from a handful of hilarious lines, isn't as consistently funny.
TIME Magazine
The film should not come as a complete surprise to anyone who has been paying attention to Allen's doings lately. This is the movie that Annie Hall hinted at and to which last year's Interiors, flawed as it was, seems to have served as a necessary prelude.
People Magazine
As a slightly ironic comedy-romance (it's shot, beautifully, in black and white by cinematographer Gordon Willis and the background music is all Gershwin), the film is a success of classic proportions.
Examiner.com
Adam Lippe
Manhattan is Allen's most fully realized film, especially in the way perspectives are developed. It's the rare movie that can be watched from a number of different points-of-view, without feeling cheated.
