What the Critics say | ||
Cape Argus / The Star Zane Henry A boring narrative. | 5 | |
Die Burger Mariana Malan Gryp kyker nooit werklik aan nie. | 10 | |
Cape Times Carina Chocano Pop psych just plods along. | 5 | |
The Citizen Annette Bayne Although Evening is beautifully filmed, the emotional impact is limited and too often there is dangerous slip-sliding into mawkish sentimentality. | 10 | |
BBC Laura Bushell A raft of award-winners head up the cast and crew of Evening, but this slick-loooking melodrama heaves under the weight of all those gongs. | 5 | |
Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert There are few things more depressing than a weeper that doesn't make you weep | 8 | |
ReelViews James Berardinelli The strength of the screenplay and acting provide a satisfying, although not overwhelming, two hours of romance, drama, and tragedy. | 15 | |
Rolling Stone Peter Travers Susan Minot’s resplendent novel stumbles on its way to the screen. | 13 | |
ScreenIt While not awful, Evening is slow and boring enough that it might just have viewers contemplating their own regrets, including spending the time and/or money to sit down in front of this. | 8 | |
