This movie was very well made. The acting was amazing. They did a great job a matching the younger and older version of the two girls. Mamie and Meryl obviously look very much alike because they are mother and daughter. Claire... Full review

Saw this Saturday night at the Provincetown Film Festival, and it's a stick-to-your-bones movie -- it's really stayed with me. Adapted very smartly from what is probably an excellent novel, it's a back-and-forth-in-time drama with fully rounded characters, thoughtful rumination on... Full review

The conflict in this movie questions the dichotomy, is using drugs more dangerous than sex. The conflict ultimately destroys the characters relationships, and it proves that sex is the winner. Sex wins by a narrow margin in this movie, and you... Full review

While the cast is marvellous
Koltai's direction in the film's final reel, however, is disappointing.
Toni Collette's Nina is a pitiful and rather unlikeable character

PM Name : Tracey Comment : This was the most boring movie of all time.
I left after 20 minutes (I thought the strong cast heralded a good film).
I found the film a little long but very engaging and well acted.
Redgrave, was was .terrific.

The massive cast does the best it can with the intermittently maudlin soap opera histrionics, and much of the film is blandly appealing....The Specs The anamorphic widescreen (2.40:1) transfer is really quite excellent, especially in the more picturesque "flashback" sequences.....they go food shopping, which just goes to show what a bunch of great actors can do for a fairly conventional tear-jerker..... ...

Overall, Evening is just okay, and fails to be as good as it could have been.
There is such a unique range of talent that makes Evening fun and entertaining to watch, even though the film itself is longer than necessary and a bit slow.

They arent as long as the movie but are just as dull and predictable.
The truth is, Evening should have remained a short story because this is one long Evening of my life I really wish I could get back.
It is a sad story that lacks emotion.
