    Ivo van Hoves adaptation of All About Eve isnt perfect, but its a deeply fascinating and unsettling piece of work, celebrating Joseph L. Mankiewiczs writing and characters while exposing a deeper darkness at its core. The acerbic wit falls away to an emotional violence that haunts you long after, especially with such powerhouse performances from Gillian Armstrong and Lily James. This is a fascinating production of a masterwork, and one that shouldnt be missed.<br />
