Based on Anton Chekhov’s classic play, 'The Seagull' explores, with comedy and melancholy, the obsessive nature of love, the tangled relationships between parents and children, and the transcendent value and psychic toll of art. An ageing actress (Annette Benning) travels to her brother's summer home with her son (Billy Howle) where he falls in love with a neighbour (Saoirse Ronan, 'Mary Queen of Scots') only for her in turn to fall for famous writer Boris (Corey Stoll) who shows up, adding to this complex love triangle. ★★★★ "Deft treatment of a hilariously elaborate love hexagon" - Ed Potton, The Times
