Entertainment Reviews:
[A] scrupulously faithful adaptation, by any means. Tony Award-winning playwright Stephen Karam, who penned the screenplay, has trimmed a hefty amount of Chekhov’s dialogue, creating a slightly more modern feel even though the action still takes place in late 19th-century Russia. -- Grade: B-

3 stars out of 4 -- “THE SEAGULL is handsomely mounted and well-acted by a stellar cast...
RogerEbert.com
Broadway and film director Michael Mayer, with a strong assist from playwright-screenwriter Stephen Karam, has fashioned a new screen version that's an enticing, amusing and passionate showcase for its top-drawer cast led by a once-again superb Annette Bening.

Is another film version of The Seagull warranted? Beyond showcasing great female performers, probably not, but that might be enough.

Rating: 2.5/5 --
As emotionally heaving and handsomely staged as it all is - and, crucially, never beholden to stage conventions - the end result often feels like a box-ticking exercise in meeting the requisite marks.

Rating: 3.5/5 --
Bening is on great form as Irina, for whom all the world's a stage, its boards to be trod only in full make-up and costume. Moss is hugely entertaining as the black-clad, drinking, smoking Masha, haunting the estate like a bad-tempered, stomping spectre.

[T]his new take on the 1896 theatrical milestone gets the casting right; ditto the tone of comedy running right up against tragedy until something breaks.
