“Keaton is incandescent in the film, an instant icon in her wide-brimmed hats and men’s ties. Alvy jokes about her black soap and adult education classes, but we can see Annie is an explorer. The gift of Keaton’s performance – which is even more remarkable given the non-chronological structure – is how she allows us to observe Annie growing into herself.” – Crooked Marquee, 10/24/2025
