Review of The Last Station (2009) by Gary K — 17 Aug 2011
I would like to meet the 30% of critics who didn't like this and ask them why they even go to the movies. This is a terrific story about the dangers of zealotry, the deepening complication of a long marriage, and how all the good intentions not to have sex make no sense whatsoever when a really good-looking Russian girl jumps in your bed and takes off her clothes.
It makes me happy to live in a world in which Christopher Plummer got to do "Sound of Music" and then this movie. It makes me ecstatic that Helen Mirren exists, that Paul Giamatti was born so ugly that he has to take small, interesting roles, and that James McAvoy isn't as bad as that one movie made him look.
