Entertainment Reviews:
....Visual elegance that seems to isolate and purify its characters and their troubles....[Moore gives a] sly, delicately shaded performance...
New York Times
There's more power here than in all the multi-million dollar fireworks of Hollywood.

Time Out
Malle's last film was a brilliantly filmed reading of Chekhov's 'Uncle Vanya'...
USA Today
Rating: 4.5/5 --
The elegant understatement of this production turns it into a livelier experiment, a fluent, gripping version of one of Chekhov's more elusive plays.
New York Times
Rating: 2/5 --
The drawback, however, is that the actors chew the scenery in true stagecraft fashion, which, on film, induces regular wincing and a wish that they would hand out the valium and take it easy.

Empire Magazine
Not entirely successful, but undeniably brave.

Malle adeptly eases us into the play so we can't tell at what precise moment Chekhov takes over, an ambiguity that becomes the film's triumph as well as its key limitation.

Product Description:
David Mamet wrote the screenplay for this staging of Andre Gregory's play, "Vanya," itself based on Chekhov's masterpiece, "Uncle Vanya." A group of actors enter a theatre on New York's 42nd Street and run through a full-length rehearsal of "Vanya" --no costumes, no sets and no 19th-century pretensions.
