Poignant and sad story
Very enjoyable sad Russian story
Such a sad tale but beautifully present film, acting and setting were outstanding
Thoroughly enjoyable and thought - provoking
thought provoking. it reminded me of the slap - where no one seems to be happy, much melancholy. good drama.
Lovely movie distracted me from the problems of life
I enjoyed this movie. More a movie for women than men but a pleasant evening.
Great
Very relaxing film
Great movie. I enjoyed the acting, the scenery and the music. Just don't expect a 'feel good' experience.
Great
Beautifully acted by the cast,particularly Annette Bening. A thoughtful film of family interaction
Lovely
An enjoyable movie with some exceptional actors.
Overall an enjoyable movie if a little slow at times
Absolutely wonderful, highly recommended.
A bit slow for my taste. I am a huge Elizabeth moss fan so enjoyed it more for this reason
Annette Bening is gloriously despicable in her narcissism. Elisabeth Moss and Brian Dennehy are also fantastic in this ensemble cast. An excellent adaptation.
Great movie. Would recommend it
An interesting adaptation with some impressive acting.
A literary masterpiece beautifully adapted to the big screen.
Love these actors. Such an interesting story..very intriguing...
Thoroughly enjoyed the movie and would recommend it
Loved it !
A troubling tail
A difficult classic to reproduce on screen, but very successfully and beautifully achieved. It certainly left you wondering about life and all situations that it throws at you! Thoroughly enjoyed, thank for a wonderful evening.
Well acted film.
Intriguing even if a little slow at times
Enjoyable film, suitable for lots of genre
Beautifully filmed and acted adaptation of Chekov's play. American accents were the only down point for me.
Great movie. Loved the performances of Annette Bening and Saosoir Ronan. Nice setting
Loved Annette Benning and Elizabeth Moss in particular
An interesting version of Checkov's play. Annette Bening was good in her role. I thought Brian Dennehy was also good. The ensemble cast did a good job. It was wonderfully filmed.
I enjoyed this thoroughly thought provok8ng film! Great cast and performances, especially by Annette Bening.
Good movie. A little slow in parts, but overall not too bad.
I have never been to this cinema before and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I brought my husband and he really did not know what to expect as he has only heard of Chekov through me when I read the Cherry Orchard. This was a really great adaption of the Seagul. Saorise Ronan the young female was convincing as the love interest and I enjoyed her scenes. Without giving too much away she reminded me of death when she knocks on the window like Cathy in Wuthering Heights. I would reccomend this movie to all ages and its a little bit of culture unlike a lot of the Hollywood blockbusters, I hope this movie does well as I found it surreal and dreamy at times and heartbreaking at others.
Well made film from Russian classic with excellent actors and beautiful scenery.
Lovely film adaptation of a classic Chekhov play
Great performances and so enjoyable are Chekhov inimitable insights into life
Very enjoyable evening. Don't expect an action film, its a mind trip.
Loved it!
