Review of Starting Out in the Evening (2007) by Johana N — 03 Aug 2009

Frank Langella gives a marvelous performance here. The movie itself though was fair at best in my opinion with a subpar script in comparison to the talent of it's actors. A nearly forgotten but once beloved writer struggling to finish what is to be his final novel, is confronted by a young grad student who wants to do her thesis on his writings.

Though he is hesitant to do so he begrudgingly accepts on her suggestion it might bring interest back to his writing and help him to get his novel published.
