Evening (2007): A drama exploring the romantic past and emotional present of Ann Grant and her daughters, Constance and Nina. 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. (6.4)
Director: Lajos Koltai
Stars: Vanessa Redgrave, Toni Collette, Claire Danes, Natasha Richardson
Multiple time-lines and multiple levels of emotions, not the least of which is dealing with a dying relative. It is a nice story that reminds us that people have pasts, we carry around memories, we try to deal with the present, but in the end, very little matters as there really are no mistakes. Everyone was spot-on with the acting; all the roles were different and the brilliant casting of the right people for the roles brought out the best in them. Better than expected. My Rating: 7.5
