The Last Station - 10 stars out of 10
I expected to find an amazing performance by Christopher Plummer and to gain some insight into the life of Leo Tolstory. Instead, I discovered the greatest performance of Helen Mirren's career. Her emotions will chill you to the bone whether she reacts with anger or devastation. Surrounded by great performances by Plummer, James McAvoy, Paul Giamatti, and KerryCondon, this movie is all about Mirren. If watching Mirren isn't enough it is worth watching the entire movie simply for the dialogue between Plummer and McAvoy about "your youth." The story is okay but this movie is truly about passionate acting and nonfictional characters brought back to life.
