Evgeniy Onegin lives in grand style: balls, receptions, theater premieres and other frivolities the capital can offer a young man. But social life has long tired him, so he perceives the news of the illness of his uncle living in the village as an opportunity to escape. However, having reached the estate, Onegin learns about the death of a relative, which, however, does not upset Evgeniy too much. His financial affairs are very sad, and his uncle is rich and has no other heirs. Onegin locks himself in the estate, living in aimless solitude until the owner, who has returned from abroad, appears at the neighboring estate – a young, enthusiastic Vladimir Lenskiy, not yet satiated with life, who introduces Evgeniy to sisters Tatyana and Olga Larin.

Time by Richard Schickel

Handsome, well-acted, richly textured adaptation of Alexander Pushkin's novel.

Film.com by Peter Brunette

A deliciously romantic story, in all senses of the word.

Mr. Showbiz by Kevin Maynard

A riveting, unsentimental tragedy of unrequited love.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer by Paula Nechak

(Fiennes's) Onegin is clueless to anything other than the sensual world, and is finally more repellent than sympathetic.

San Francisco Examiner by Wesley Morris

Hot-blooded.
