Title: Morning, Noon and...
Product review: 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 screaming from the theater. (And I LIKE art films.) Two stars for the costumes, art direction and the ever-reliable pro performances of Eileen Atkins, Meryl Streep and Toni Collette; none of which is enough to justify this stultifying waste of film.
