As entertaining and as lovingly crafted as it is, it fails to transcend.
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.
Chekhov would be appalled.
At times you feel like you're watching bits and pieces of two or three different films. Happily, they're all pretty good ones.
A story full of passion and longing and rage and betrayal that comes across as abstract verging on bloodless.
Great, thoughtful acting can take you only so far, and "The Seagull" has been brought into close-up without ever coming into focus.
Audience Reviews for The Seagull
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.
