Synopsis

Michael Cunningham (author of THE HOURS) lends his screenwriting skills to Lajos Koltai's EVENING. This time, Cunningham adapts a book by Susan Minot for the big screen. Vanessa Redgrave plays Ann Grant, who in her last hours retells the highlights of her life to an audience made up of her daughters, with Claire Danes playing a younger version of the protagonist.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Hours comes to the sea shore, 21 Feb 2008
By The Film Gem Digger (London, England) - See all my reviews
As a huge fan of The Hours and its incredible cast, I was pretty certain I would enjoy Evening. This is a beautiful character-led piece, starring some incredible actresses: from Clare Danes, Toni Colette and Vanessa Redgrave. Evening is heart-warming, moving and the perfect recipe for a good night in!

3.0 out of 5 stars Nowhere near as good as The Hours, 29 Feb 2008
As a huge fan of The Hours, having read the book of The Hours 3 times, watched the movie for more than 10 times, I was hugely let down by Evening. Evening has a similar cast to The Hours, however, the screenplay nor the book was written by the people from The Hours, Evening was not even directed by the same director as The Hours. It is not a bad film nevertheless, Vanessa Redgrave and Meryl Streep delivered stunning performances and surprisingly, Claire Dane was also very good as she was a bit of a let down in The Hours. Evening was not nominated for any Oscars should be a good indication of my criticisms. I will be reading the book in the future as Susan Minot's writing is not to be missed.

4.0 out of 5 stars not as bad as they said, 19 Dec 2007
By Mr. James G. Bradford - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Evening [DVD] [2007] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
This is beautiful film, it ain't a chick flick unless you are emotionally autistic! A beautiful telling of a dying women, not quite held down by this time anymore and who goes through some meanful experiences of her life, once again we see Mr Cummingham working out a bisexual tension by a beach in a house between 3 people, but unlike "The home at the end of the world", the characters have more to do, the brilliant Clare Danes playing an original women, Hugh Dancy comes out well ontop though for his performance, and all the others come and go even the formidble Meryl Streep without taking the screen and making it overly hers, the daughters story, the past and the future, the only down turning is the quick ending, but a beautiful allergory it is anyhow!
