Lillian Hall, a revered Broadway actress, has never missed a performance throughout her long, illustrious career. Yet during theatre rehearsals for Chekov’s The Cherry Orchard, her confidence is challenged. People and events conspire to take away her ability to do what she loves most. Steller performances from Jessica Lange, Kathy Bates, Lily Rabe and Pierce Brosnan.
Lange herself seems in her prime, expertly anchoring a film that is heartbreaking, yet joyful in its embrace of life and art. – Caryn James, The Hollywood Reporter
Jessica Lange brings her skills to The Great Lillian Hall in a performance that deserves another Oscar nomination. – Stephen Romei, The Australian
