About
You’ll likely enjoy Evening if you’re drawn to poignant, memory-driven family dramas with romance and regret, but Not for you if you want a tightly logical plot, lighter entertainment, or a steady present-tense focus like Midnight Sun.
Pros: vivid flashbacks; stellar ensemble; beautiful mood | Cons: disjointed storyline; present-day subplot; confusing pacing
