The latest iteration of The Seagull does little to distinguish itself from other Chekhov adaptations but provides a pleasing showcase for its sterling cast.

Whatever their flaws, all of these characters are looked on with affection and sympathy - in true Chekhov style. In the end, even Irina gets her reflective moment - a hint that she may be capable of feeling for someone other than herself, after all. Oct 5, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Mayer brings a labored hand to the proceedings and can't maximize his dynamite cast or the potential for salaciousness in Chekov's tangled web of characters. Jun 15, 2018 | Rating: C | Full Review…

At times you feel like you're watching bits and pieces of two or three different films. Happily, they're all pretty good ones. May 31, 2018 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

A story full of passion and longing and rage and betrayal that comes across as abstract verging on bloodless. May 25, 2018 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…

As emotionally heaving and handsomely staged as it all is - and, crucially, never beholden to stage conventions - the end result often feels like a box-ticking exercise in meeting the requisite marks. Jan 27, 2019 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

Bening is on great form as Irina, for whom all the world's a stage, its boards to be trod only in full make-up and costume. Moss is hugely entertaining as the black-clad, drinking, smoking Masha, haunting the estate like a bad-tempered, stomping spectre. Dec 11, 2018 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

The English-speaking cast gives the film a contemporary feel while Mayer uses the camera fluidly to avoid the perception that you're watching a play. This is by far the best cinematic adaptation to date. Oct 28, 2018 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Take away the boredom, melancholy and frustration, and you have a more fluent movie but a less faithful representation of the writer's world. Oct 26, 2018 | Full Review…

The cast is good, but this is just further proof that Chekhov belongs on the stage. Also, there are some weird structural choices that undermine the play's natural tension.
