"This layered saga about art, fame, family, and human folly plays out with claustrophobic intensity, as the lives of friends, families, and lovers, all living under the same roof, become entangled. The Seagull’s cast of celebrated performers brings fresh perspective to these beloved, complicated characters. Rich with feeling, this tragicomedy asks timeless questions about how best to live a purposeful life and, more importantly, how to love." (Tribeca Film Festival)Hide

The Press Reviews
This is not quite the full high-octane stuff of a classic version, but it's well and truly worth seeing. Full Review
The cast is great. The play is great. But this is still a bad movie, because it has no clear or coherent idea of how to be one. Full Review
When director Michael Mayer lets his restless camera stay out of the way, Annette Bening, Saoirse Ronan and Elisabeth Moss lift this Chekhov adaptation to the heights. Full Review
An enticing, amusing and passionate showcase for its top-drawer cast led by a once-again superb Annette Bening. Full Review
Brisk and funny. Full Review
