Entertainment Reviews:
You can feel the heat, temperature and otherwise, in Michael Mayer's sultry screen adaptation of Anton Chekhov's classic 1896 play....[The film] delivers sensuality in spades.
Hollywood Reporter
Rating: 2/5 --
As comedy, as tragedy, or as anything much in between, Chekhov's drama obstinately refuses to come to life.

Individual performances are great, but the finished product is uninspiring.

Little White Lies
Rating: 4/5 --
Whatever their flaws, all of these characters are looked on with affection and sympathy - in true Chekhov style. In the end, even Irina gets her reflective moment - a hint that she may be capable of feeling for someone other than herself, after all.

Sydney Morning Herald
Watching Annette Bening as Irina Arkadina in THE SEAGULL, Michael Mayer’s adaptation of the durable Anton Chekhov play, you might almost believe that the role was written with her in mind.
New York Times
[A] scrupulously faithful adaptation, by any means. Tony Award-winning playwright Stephen Karam, who penned the screenplay, has trimmed a hefty amount of Chekhov’s dialogue, creating a slightly more modern feel even though the action still takes place in late 19th-century Russia. -- Grade: B-
A.V. Club
None of the actors is less than poised, and Mayer delivers cinematic snap, making everything look velveteen, moving events along at pace.
