Based on the 2016 novel by Amor Towles, "A Gentleman in Moscow" is set against the backdrop of post-Revolutionary Russia, where Count Alexander Rostov is stripped of his title and material wealth, and placed under house arrest for life in a grand Moscow hotel. Unlikely friendships, fleeting romance and the hotel's occupants open the Count's eyes to the hidden wonders of the hotel, and the enduring power of human connection. After losing everything, he must learn that true riches are found in love, courage and community.

Robert W. Butler

Butler's Cinema Scene

Ewan McGregor gives what may be a career-high performance in A Gentleman in Moscow. He’s so good that one is willing to overlook some of the production’s flaws just to luxuriate in his presence.

Tim M Ewan Mcgregor’s performance in this is flawless. The show does a great job in taking you back to a period in history well written about in books but not in a fictional sense. Adding humanity to a tough historical time. Highly recommend for anyone who is after a enjoyable experience set in a time of dark happenings. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/24/24 Full Review Jason K No joke, best tv show my wife and I have ever watched. Beautifully crafted. A positive, uplifting, emotional rollercoaster. I think it may go over some people's heads, and challenge many people's way of seeing the world and life in general, but in a good way. The main character's attitude throughout is truly inspirational, and the message is one that is so needed today. The story is extremely well crafted, and the acting could not be better. By far the best thing on TV or in the theaters today. In an age where movies are made for those with low IQ and ADHD, this is truly some well needed fresh air. The buildup to the last episode is truly a masterpiece. IF Ewan does not get an Emmy for this, then the award is utterly meaningless! The actress who plays older Sophia, is stunningly beautiful. Like shockingly so. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/22/24 Full Review Rudy A In this election year with the U.S. being trashed from both the Left and the Right, this wonderful drama reminds us how fortunate we are.Not a dull moment in this ultimately heart-wrenching tale with a brilliant cast led by Ewan McGregor. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/20/24 Full Review Tom M Still reeling Some of the most wonderful hours spent watching this stunningly brilliant series. I'm so grateful to have seen this. Everything, everybody, every moment. Now, I can never see it again for the first time. Thank you a million times over to all who helped bring this to us. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/15/24 Full Review Steven Z Such a great novel that is just ruined by strange choices in the adaptation. British accents, non-Russian (“diverse”) cast, plot and character changes, etc. Had to stop watching after a few episodes though I’d been looking forward to this show! Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/13/24 Full Review Ruth H Oh, my gosh, why would you change the perfect ending of the book? I was waiting for the moment when the Count walks into the cafe and sees the back of the “willowy woman” only to be crushingly disappointed.
