Credits

Rated: PG-13; Genre: Drama; With: Lauren Ambrose and Frank Langella; Distributor: Roadside Attractions

At first glance, Starting Out in the Evening is a typical film about a quintessentially nontypical relationship: the May-December romance. Lauren Ambrose plays a young litterateur looking to revive the reputation of a once-famous novelist (Frank Langella).

EXTRAS An exhausting commentary in which director Andrew Wagner dissects each character's every motivation. B
