Preview: Evening (2007)

• Poster: C+

Review:

The poster isn't terribly engaging. Over-accentuating the film's thespian notables won't necessarily endear an audience to tossing down money. It does at least capture the essence of the film's theme and its dusky title.

• Trailer: B

Review:

I can't quite make sense of the real plot of the film, but that could be a good thing. The little bits of drama and performance contained in this first trailer strike me strongly. I think this might end up being a good film as long as the story is as compelling as the talent.

Oscar Prospects:

With names like Toni Collete, Vanessa Redgrave, Meryl Streep and Glenn Close attached, you can't help but get the sense that this could be an Oscar contender. It does seem a bit too much like The Hours in its past-and-present style, but that could work in the film's favor.
