(1 - 21) of 21 OFCS Rating: 38% Rotten Page   1   C "Evening is melodrama with the brake lines slashed -- a curiously dreary installment of the "Who Has More Psychological Baggage!" game show where every character is a winner."   OhmyNews.com   Brian Orndorf C "It suffocates in all its blue-blooded proprieties and cloying sentimentalities."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 2.5/4 "For a movie that begins on such shaky footing, Evening packs an impassioned wallop by the end."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman 1/4 "Like Stephen Daldry's The Hours, Evening's pseudo-intellectual tone hardly disguises its presumptions about female identity."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez B- "It's the kind of female-centric syrup that isn't conceived creatively so much as it's calculated mathematically. But for a certain audience, it might be good enough."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 0/4 "Easily the most insufferable film experience in a year that has already given us Wild Hogs, The Hills Have Eyes 2 and Premonition."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress C- "While it showcases some fine performers, it unfortunately has a stiflingly literary tone."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 4/5 "A psychologically rich drama dealing with the matters of the heart we must face as we swing from the ardor of first love to the peace of our last breath: yearning, memory, mistakes, regret, and the healing power of friendship."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3/4 "The strength of the screenplay and acting provide a satisfying, although not overwhelming, two hours of romance, drama, and tragedy."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 2.5/4 "There's a better movie somewhere inside this saccharine weepy that telegraphs its melodramatics with shameless glee."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 3/10 "The cinematic equivalent of repeated punches to the kidneys."   Planet Sick-Boy   Jon Popick 1.5/4 "It's quite an achievement to get such a group of esteemed actresses together for something of such little consequence."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik "Bittersweet and deeply, achingly romantic, this perfect, perfect film... enfolds regrets and memories and love and hope in [a] snug embrace..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson "A weepie examination of female and sexual identity whose worth is roughly equal to that of a used Kleenex."   Cinematical   Nick Schager 3/5 "An astounding cast and high production values make this film worth seeing, even as turns into a girly melodrama."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 3/5 "Frankly I could watch Danes, Collette, Streep, Close, Richardson, etc., as they go food shopping, which just goes to show what a bunch of great actors can do for a fairly conventional tear-jerker."   DVDTalk.com   Scott Weinberg C+ "... so distanced from the emotions of the story that it never breathes on its own."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker 3/5 "features Acting with a capital "A," pulled off by serious thespians putting years of training to the test."   Filmcritic.com   Sean O'Connell 6/10 "Despite the intriguing casting, this stultified generational drama fades into a luminous meditation on mortality."   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger 2.5/4 "Danes, radiant with intelligence, warmth and common sense, captures your heart. Sadly, the same cannot be said of Evening."   Reel.com   Timothy Knight "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf  (1 - 21) of 21 OFCS Rating: 38% Rotten Page   1
