This Had Oscar Buzz has always been a long day\u2019s journey into Evening<\/i>! In 2007, the film strangely opened in the summer and quickly became the poster child for the \u201cOscar bait\u201d moniker. Starring a massive female ensemble including [inhales sharply] Claire Danes, Toni Collette, Vanessa Redgrave, Natasha Richardson, Glenn Close, Mamie Gummer, Eileen Atkins and Meryl Streep, the film is an unfortunately vague journey through one dying woman\u2019s regretful memories of a fateful wedding weekend on the coast.<\/p>\n

Joining us for this episode is Vanity Fair\u2019s chief critic Richard Lawson to help unpack the many, many things that make Evening<\/i> such a disappointment and a dreary, sex-negative enterprise. We also discuss our accidental obsession with Claire Danes (here discussed in her fifth episode), how the film borrowed heavily from our relationship with The Hours<\/i>, and the 2007 era of Focus Features. Get ready to howl like Close and chase some moths!<\/p>\n
