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

Rating:  - Sentimental, but in a good way
I had the chance last night to catch Evening, an ensemble piece starring some of the most heavy-hitting female actresses working today. I thought it was wonderfully sentimental, and I enjoyed watching it.
Ann (Vanessa Redgrave/Claire Danes) is on her deathbed, reflecting on some of the defining moments of her life. Her two daughters, Connie (Natasha Richardson) and Nina (Toni Collette), grapple with the complications of their own lives and the idea of their mother's passing.

Rating:  - Morning, Noon and...
Don't be fooled by the stellar cast: "Evening" is an endless B-movie bore from start to finish. There's enough plot for three films -- and with so many false endings you may feel as if you've been watching for that long -- but none of it means anything. The pace is glacial, the script trite, the characters whiny. And it's all presented as an extremely "important" exploration of love, loss and the human condition. Hogwash. This is an "Art" film that's so self-consciously "artsy" I wanted to run ... Read More
Rating:  - a mixed bag but with some fine performances
A stellar cast, consisting of Vanessa Redgrave, Claire Danes, Toni Collette, Natasha Richardson, Glenn Close and Meryl Streep, is reason enough for watching "Evening," one of those high-toned, slightly stuffy, intergenerational family dramas that is all about lost loves, wasted lives and missed opportunities, this time among the champagne-sipping elite of Newport, Rhode island.
Redgrave stars as Ann Grant, a terminally ill woman whose dementia is leading her to reveal secrets on her ... Read More
Rating:  - Horrible turgid piece of cow dung
What a waste of such grerat talent. Nothing is believable. I think I lost it when the fireflies swarmed around Vanessa Redgrave, the dying matriarch. Really shows what an overrated piece of claptrap "The Hours" was. Nothing more needs to be said than what some of the others have opined.
Rating:  - Lovely Movie
If your a romantic by heart you should see this movie. Plus it has a great cast.
