Drawing on Jay Parini's novel of the same name, Hoffman's film is potentially rich in dramatic situation, but it squanders these possibilities by making them dependant on the director's underimagined central quartet.

Reviews for The Last Station
Despite intriguing, unknown story about the great author Leo Tolstoy and his wife, and despite stellar cast headed by Christopher Plummer and Helen Mirren, Hoffman's film is a mediocre work that lacks dramatic energy and looks like Masterpiece Theater.
Why tackle a subject as legendary as Tolstoy if you're just going to turn him into a doddering coot?
