It's much more than a play being filmed. He frames the film so that we see it differently than if we were sitting in the theatre.

Rated: 4.5/5

The adaptation lost nothing of what makes Chekov so important, and the acting is true, and raw, and delicate.

The performance was extraordinary. This adaptation of Uncle Vanya is a relevation. If you love live theatre this movie is a gift!

With all of the characters Andrew Scott plays, you really shouldn't be able to keep such effortless track of them, but you do. Scott gives an amazing performance of such distinct, universally human characters — telling their story with humour, affection, and dignity. Unforgettable.

A little confusing at the start but hugely compelling once you get the hang of the delivery. Very emotional and wonderfully acted.

Amazing! Andrew Scott is great --this was about the best acting I've seen in my life. (I can't believe he didn't win the Olivier award for this.) Right after I saw this film I was able to get tickets to the live play coming to NYC in the spring--can't wait!
