Alongside them, the film features Carrie Fisher, Lloyd Nolan, Maureen O'Sullivan, Max von Sydow, Daniel Stern, John Turturro, Lewis Black (debut), and Julie Kavner.
Hannah and Her Sisters was, for a long time, Allen's biggest box office success, with a North American gross of US$40 million.

It is often considered one of Allen's major works, with critics continuing to praise its writing and ensemble cast.
