Excellent production, directing, acting, etc., wasted on a mundane story. The elderly Tolstoy is caught up with liberalism (unrealistic idealism) of passive resistance, eliminating property rights (th... e cornerstone of capitalism), and Marxist redistribution of wealth. His wife wants royalties from his works to go to his heirs while Tolstoy wants to give up his copyrighted ownership to the people and deny his heirs, which he does behind her back. That's it. She gets some revenge as revealed in a note at the end of the movie. No redeeming virtues to this wasted effort.. Full Review
I like both Helen Miren and Christopher Plummer. The whole movie was the two of them as a bickering couple. It doesn't matter that one of them is famous, it could have been anyone. Well acted but r... ecommend passing this by. Full Review
Probably the best movie we have seen this year. I guess a person must know something about Tolstoy & Russian History. Great acting, scenes and script. It took two weeks to see it at our Regency Theate... r. Big movie companies still control the industryn as it was only shown in one theater.. The lines were long and we came back another time and it was worth it. See it. Full Review
HARD TO RATE BECAUSE THE GREAT HELEN MIRREN IS NEVER WRONG. This was tedious because it was so long but it certainly was an interesting "study" sort of thing. Tolstoy was thought of as the... mind that 'saved' Russia at one time; he was an icon and a great thinker but he made his wife pregnant about 12 or 13 times, something like that. His wife dared to want to sell his works to the Russian people so she could have money for her kids...but Tolstoy's wife was a countess. Tolstoy felt the Russian people owned his works by right. That was the controversy and it played out in a series of dramatic excessives not to be believed. Please pay careful attention as to what eventually happened to Tolstoy's works and the movie does not tell you in the story; it only says so in writing before the credits. AS A WOMAN, A MOTHER, of course I am sympathetic with the countess who had all those children. I feel she should be so honored by her husband's work before the people of Russia. But that's me.--MO I WOULD GIVE IT 5stars if it wasn't for the drag; it made me sleepy. Full Review
