Starting Out in the Evening

 

USA 2007, 108 minutes
Dir. Andrew Wagner
Rating: [M]
Genres: Drama / Independent, Arts & Artists, Romance

Topics: Late-life.

 

Aroview: An aging, all-but-forgotten author (Langella) finds himself the object of an eager grad student’s attention when she decides to make him the subject of her master’s thesis.

Poignant, mature and intimately observed, but also self-consciously verbose, occasionally prosaic and littered with literary name-checking, this slow-burning treatise on the tensions feeding and impeding creativity might not have the emotional pull it promises, but is considerably enriched by the talents of a fine cast, most notably Langella and the ever-impressive Taylor.
