Standing Ovations for Last Station. Helen Mirren's great performance was
the big ticket in Telluride last night. We loved her as the mad, wonderful,
loving Sophya Tolstoy. This is a very intelligent and very entertaining
movie.

A short entry in a blog:

The Last Station_ - A biopic on the last year of Tolstoy's life. With a coming of age/romantic subplot between his male secretary and a carefree follower. I felt I learned a reasonable amount about Tolstoy's social movement and watched an enjoyable relationship film. Helen Mirren is wonderful as Tolstoy's wife who loves him even though she violently disagrees with him on almost every one of his social principles.
