Review of Starting Out in the Evening (2007) by Lynne R — 09 Jan 2008
A subtle gem. As others have said, Frank Langella's performance as the cantankerous, solitary author is the best work I've seen from him, and the magnetic center around which the other characters resonate. Lili Taylor as the daughter he's never loved enough and Karl Bury as the.
Man she loves (of whom her father roundly disapproves) are.
Wonderful. Lauren Ambrose meets the challenge of playing.
The Eve Harrington-type ambitious grad student with a.
Beguiling, winsome charm that.
Masks her drive and selfishness.
All the characters are smart (though not wise) and verbally adept at locating the chinks in the armor of their partners or.
Family members. Some may find this film slow or talky...I thought.
It was patient and truthful.
