Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Though the filmmaking is uneven, Evening redeems itself in its marvelous cast, which echoes the movies' themes by showcasing two real-life mother-daughter acting duos.

fresh:
Evening's visual period splendour, its vivid characterizations and their comfortably cliched relationships somehow draw us in and make us care.

rotten:
If nothing else, Evening proves that there are such things as mistakes, by featuring two hours of bad choices and half-executed ideas.

rotten:
Even as I admired most of the performances -- and I do stress most of them -- I found myself searching in vain for one character to care about.

rotten:
The film disintegrates into an indulgent succession of intense, fawning exchanges that overwhelm Minot's thin and monotonous tale.
