Many points well-taken, but grouping these three films together is a little unfair. Annie Hall has its flaws but is funny and interesting and saved by Diane Keaton. Manhattan is even more flawed but salvaged by its cinematography—and Mariel Hemingway and Diane Keaton. Interiors is garbage and unsalvageable even by Diane Keaton. Leave it out, Joan Didion.

I’m sorry if you’re joking and I missed it, but Annie Hall is in color.
Yes, but they are all in black and white, so must be taken “seriously,” whether great films or not.
Did we need this? Right after Woody shown all over the Epstein files? Disgusting.
JD always understood California, where she was from, better than she did New York.
Joan Didion two-word response to the letter defending Woody Allen is priceless. So glad I followed the link to NYRB
