Evening

Rating: C

A dying mother recounts her secret love story in a series of hallucinations which confuse her two grown up, yet dysfunctional daughters.

What an odd movie.  The parts I liked the best were the flashbacks in which Claire Danes plays the young version of the dying woman.  The real-time sequences, focusing on her daughters various issues, were really lame and depressing.  They should have made a movie of the hallucinations.  With this big-name cast, it should have been a lot better.  The hallucinations parts are worth watching.
