What is Annie Hall about?
New York comedian Alvy Singer falls in love with the ditsy Annie Hall.
Does it have a happy ending? (spoiler-safe)
Bittersweet. It earns its ending, but not everyone gets what they want.
A neurotic comedian and a free-spirited singer navigate the witty, melancholic, and absurd landscape of modern romance.
Romantic and melancholy, with dry wit. A date-night pick at a measured pace. Emotionally it carries some weight.
Streaming on Kanopy (free), Hoopla (free), The Roku Channel (free), YouTube (free) and Tubi (free).
