Top Critic The fascination comes in the power of the Huston performance, which seems so larger than life and yet so fragile, and in the way the Ivan character accepts the news of his illness so quickly but still finds himself unable to react.

It's hard to say who might enjoy this, are there Tolstoy groupies out there? It's dark and tragic, and lets the business of the greedy talent agents get in the way of saying something meaningful about facing death

It gets onto the screen just about as much of the novella as one could reasonably expect, and is engrossing and moving in its own right.

Huston nails both the glad-handing and the choking sense of hollow despair.

A committed, intelligent and fascinating piece of work with no irony about it.

Top Critic It's "Bowfinger" with a meaning, it's "The Player" with a heart, it's a window into business, politics and excesses. The film has heart
