Review of Starting Out in the Evening (2007) by Inta K — 25 Feb 2010
STARTING OUT IN THE EVENING.
Edgy but drawn out and slow in some places. An awkward drama dealing with a number of serious personal issues for its ensemble cast. Contains some uncomfortable moments. Presumes a sophisticated audience. The film will provoke strong emotions from the viewer. Frank Langella was outstanding as the aging writer trying hard to make a comeback with his fourth and last novel, attempting to make the best of an unusual opportunity that has been presented to him. Lili Taylor was excellent as the flippy but bright graduate student working on her master's thesis. I also liked Lauren Ambrose and Adrian Lester.
