    Wow this rocked me. It was so tender and so incredibly well put together.

    Uncle Vanya

    Read some comment about Richard Armitage having the perfect nose about halfway through, and I have to admit it was a different watch for me after that. What a piece.

    Would recommend this as a primer for Drive my Car, but don’t want to take away from the magic of the performance and viewing as a standalone. This was really good, and surprisingly fun for me, despite the bleak setting of 19th century Russia. Toby Jones as Uncle Vanya a standout for me
