Reviewers at the time (including Peary) were clearly impressed by evidence of Allen&#8217;s &#8220;growing maturity&#8230; as a filmmaker&#8221;, with Peary himself noting that Allen finally allows his alter-ego character to be &#8220;mean to someone&#8221;, &#8220;unfair&#8221;, and &#8220;not the victim&#8221;. Ironically, however, this brutal honesty is exactly what makes <em>Manhattan<\/em> somewhat unpleasant to watch, given that we can clearly see the mistake Isaac (Allen) is making in breaking up with his &#8220;sweet, mature&#8221; girlfriend (Mariel Hemingway) who &#8220;loves him dearly&#8221; &#8212; if, that is, we&#8217;ve gotten over our initial discomfort at their enormous age discrepancy (and stopped wondering why Hemingway&#8217;s parents never appear on the scene to have a say in the matter). Diane Keaton is perfectly cast as the elusive object of Allen&#8217;s affections, but unlike in <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=26700\"><em>Annie Hall<\/em> (1977)<\/a>, her character here is ultimately too annoying to enjoy. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/01\/Manhattan-Keaton.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
