Review of Starting Out in the Evening (2007) by Keith R — 30 Jan 2008
One movie starring Frank Langella and Lili Taylor. Damn. A scarily accurate look into the world of writers and writing (of creative folk, period)-- the fears, the fuck-ups, the endless fall-out from choices made and lives compromised, including one's own.
Measured pacing gives the film a veneer of elegance that is earned by the intelligent script and top-notch acting. (Ambrose is good but is the weakest link, in my opinion.) The film deserves a far wider audience than it has received.
For me, this film and the Savages are what No Country for Old Men and There Will Be Blood seem to be for everyone else on the planet.
