Studied, rather than exciting.
By PaulaWestwood (397 reviews) from Ashton-Under-Lyne , 24 Sep 2007[Highly rated reviewer]
Taken from a bestseller, this is a studied, rather than exciting film. As an elderly mothers life begins to wane, her memories take over on her deathbed and through murmours and dream talk, she imparts details about her young life to her daughters that they knew nothing abot previosuly. This has the effect of answering some of the daughters unanswered questions from their youth, as well as impacting their decisions on the current state of their lives. This is a superbly acted film, and the talent present portrays the subject superbly. The downside, is that it is a tad ponderous and overlong for some, and it might not hold your attention for the whole 117 minutes.- Was this review helpful to you?

So good you can almost feel every emotion in the film
By a customer , 01 Feb 2012If you're looking for a film that pulls on every heart string, 'Evening' is the film for you. I would be surprised if you don't shed a tear! You will want to carry on watching from start to finish to find out the answer to Ann's life story. A film with high emotions and love stories.- Was this review helpful to you?

Be moved by Evening
By a customer , 18 Jan 2012Fantastic cast. Beautifully shot. The moving between time periods does take a little bit of getting used to, but I thought this was a fantastic way to spend an evening. I dare you not to be moved by this, gets you thinking about all those -what if I had said yes instead of no - moments. Lovely to watch an amazing aray of fantastic actors balancing the movie wonderfully. Would watch again and again...thank you for making this movie- Was this review helpful to you?

By a customer , 21 Sep 2011I enjoyed this film.
It was hopeful at the end and shows regret at the time. It was not an exciting film but good acting.- Was this review helpful to you?

Curtains for Evening
By EMARBEE (27 reviews) from London , 15 Sep 2011Oh dear, I am sorry to say that I simply couldn't sit through this film to the end. It was a real disappointment. I had been looking forward to seeing Vanessa Redgrave and Natasha Richardson acting together, but the story never gelled. It went backwards and forwards in time, dovetailing the now and the past in a thoroughly confusing way. I really couldn't care about the love of Redgrave's life, and her quarrelling daughters. I have to admit that the one compelling scene was at the pre-wedding dinner when the young man gets convincingly drunk, the sort of occasion when we all wish we were somewhere else but are glued to our seats.- Was this review helpful to you?
