Movie Reviews of EveningMovie Review: Probably the worst movie I have seen in 3 years Summary: 1 StarsI was hopeful that with Clair Danes and others in this case this movie would have been enjoyable to watch, but it was quite the opposite. The plot never took off, the acting was sub-par for those on the screen, and after about 60% of the movie complete, I just had to turn it off. Some may say that was a bad decision as the end justified the means, but I couldn't bear it any longer.
I would not recommend this to anyone, but if you just have to have this movie I would be happy to give you my copy if you just pay postage.
Summary of EveningAn all-star cast of the greatest actresses of our time - including Academy Award winner Vanessa Redgrave, Academy Award winner Meryl Streep, Toni Collette, Claire Danes, Natasha Richardson and Glenn Close - come together in this passionate and heartwarming story. As Ann (Redgrave) reflects on one beautiful and life-changing weekend with the one true love of her life, her daughters (Collette and Richardson) come to their own understanding about the power of the past and the unbreakable bonds between mothers and daughters, family, and the loves of their lives. A star-studded cast brings richness and texture to Evening, a lyrical tale of regret, unrequited love, and hope, written by novelists Susan Minot (Rapture) and Michael Cunningham (The Hours), based on Minot's book. Ann (Vanessa Redgrave) lies ill, deliriously remembering when she came to the summer home of her best friend Lila to be Lila's maid of honor (her younger self is played by Claire Danes). But the young Ann is soon caught between the hungry need of Lila's brother Buddy (Hugh Dancy) and the magnetic outsider Harris (Patrick Wilson). Meanwhile, the elderly Ann is watched by her two daughters, Nina (Toni Collette) and Constance (Natasha Richardson), who wrestle with unresolved feelings towards their mother, their choices in life, and each other. Evening starts off feeling a bit stiff and literary, but gradually finds its rhythm. While the emotional peaks and precious images feel inflated and hollow, the little ephemeral moments--the heartbreaks, yearnings, disappointments, and comforts, the flash of a smile or the widening of an eye--glimmer with warmth and honesty. It's rare that such restraint can be so compelling and so rewarding; Evening is well worth watching for the accumulating emotional power of these small moments. Also featuring Glenn Close and Meryl Streep. --Bret Fetzer Beyond Evening  Evening the novel by Susan Minot |  Vanessa Redgrave Essential DVDs |  More DVDs with Claire Danes | Stills from Evening (click for larger image)
