The Seagull, while imperfect, is a beautifully crafted film. It takes the challenge of transposing a Chekhov play into a screenplay, and does so very well. The cinematography is breathtaking, the scenery bringing out the dramatic undertone in each scene. The roles are perfectly cast, especially the wonderful Annette Bening as Irina and Saoirse Ronan as Nina. This film deserves a watch for anyone looking for something unique, well-acted, character-based and innovative! Don't let the negative reviews throw you off!
