Product Description:
A stellar cast unites for a drama adapted by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Michael Cunningham from the best-selling novel by Susan Minot. The film explores the romantic past and emotional present of Ann Grant (Redgrave) and her daughters, Constance (Richardson) and Nina (Collette). As Ann lays dying, she remembers, and is moved to convey to her daughters, the defining moments in her life 50 years prior, when she was a young woman (Danes). Patrick Wilson plays Harris, the man Ann loves in the 1950s and never forgets.
Amazon.com:
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

By the end of this movie, I was crying. Very emotional portrayal of a dying mother who has never gotten over her first love. The daughters also have their own dramas going on - with one coming to terms with an unexpected pregnancy. Kind of reminds me of Fried Green Tomatoes.
The only thing I didn't like about this movie was the "F" bomb that was dropped on us at the beginning. Quite unnecessary.
Rating:  -
Power-packed with superstar actresses, the concept is good, the individual acting is up to par yet something is missing in the story line and directing. It ends up being a trite chick-flick.

I had expected this to be a "woman's" picture and had resigned myself to watching it to see Patrick Wilson whom I liked so much in "Passengers." But I was drawn into the film so much that by the end I was enthralled. I felt I was given a window into Vanessa Redgrave's soul and saw what it was like to age and die and realized how important it is to live now and do the best I can since our time flies so fast. When the movie was over, I started thinking of all the things I have not made time to do ... Read More

If you are not an old woman, you will not like this movie. It was just terrible. The pacing was slow, the plot weak and the end, which I sat through the movie thinking would be a good sad payoff wasn't. Point of this review, if you are a guy, do not take the 2 hours of your life to watch this movie.

Evening starring Claire Danes plus an all-star cast is stunning visually but the story is less than impressive. The acting is excellent but the plot goes nowhere and it's difficult for the viewer to feel empathy for any of these self-centered characters. Hugh Dancy is the only character that you become invested with, he plays a troubled alcoholic who wears his raw emotions on his sleeve. The film shifts too much between the present day and the past, that frustrated me the most. The ending left me flat, ... Read More
