Why so much nudity? This is not art! Their relationship was not sex! They should've done this like "A Beautiful Mind". That's a great capture of a complicated relationship.
This is a badly done, dull and uninspired biography. Forget about Ted Hughes they really haven't done the justice to real Sylvia Plath. Only thing I felt correct about the film was Sylvia's suicide preparations and her hair. Rest is just melodrama. After seeing this I KNOW now their daughter Frieda Hughes was absolutely correct: "Now they want to make a film . .. They think I should give them my mother's words . . . To fill the mouth of their monster . . . Their Sylvia Suicide Doll."
obnoxious comment alert i wish someone like tim burtun or steven s. did this movie so that i could see her head being smoked up and here her screaming at least
It's ironic how Assia WAS pregnant in real life, and she had an abortion, AFTER Sylvia commited suicide, of course. Assia used the pregnancy to pressure him leave Sylvia once and for all, and then had an abortion. Since she was going to end the pregnancy anyway, why not have the abortion and let Ted go back to his wife and children? Why did she have to wait until after Plath killed herself? What a bitch.
Being cheated on isnt reason for suicide, that being said however is clear that she had already attempted suicide before and was clearly in need of some sort of help, probably in form of bipolar medication. sad story though.
Don't quite understand how "she's pregnant" negates Sylvia asking for her husband back. I mean.... they already have two kids together.
Weak script there, imo. Also this whole last-minute hookup is kind of gratuitous. I doubt this is what happened on the final night of Plath's life. But it's not a movie unless there's nudity!
It's very ignorant and grossly unfair to Hughes to blame Plath's suicide on him.
Plath was a chronic suicidal depressive before she met Hughes. She made a serious suicide attempt with pills as a college student. She was institutionalized and given electroshock treatment. She referred to other attempts in her poetry.
Plath was prescribed an antidepressant a few days before her death, the same drug her US doctor had warned her never to take again, as it worsened her depression.
Oh, God, Ted Hughes reminds me so much of my old boyfriend. I'm so glad I made the decision--as hard as it was--to get rid of him before he could hurt me as much as Ted hurt Sylvia.
Sylvia, I <3 you always. I wish I could have been there for you like my friends were there for me.

@PPesse She's keeping up the facade, but the stamp is also kind of metaphorical--she's going on a journey. When she hands the coin to the neighbor, I feel like she's giving a penny to the ferryman to take her across the river Styx.
Its true. there are very few people who can love that way, who can hand themselves over and we just need to be loved, rescued, pasionally loved...and when we discover that the other person just made a mistake and did know how to respond to the greatest and pure love we give, we just get dissapointed and terribly mad.
depression is like a cancer . . .it eats away at you. It should be considered as dangerous and life-threatening as a cancer. For some it is a life sentence of misery, the only peace is in death. then you rest. It's sad, but truthful. Sometimes the fight is not worth it, and sometimes you lose the will to fight even if it is. Her story is very personal to me. And by the way, sometimes love is not enough. It can't save everybody. I sure wish it could
@xxxxsonnyxxxx Well Assia killed herself along with her and Ted's little girl Shura years later, so...yeah. Some depressed mothers take their children with them. At least Plath protected her kids.
I read 'letters home' her journal and i expected to notice hints at her suicide intention but her taking her own life is perhaps her not coping with ted hughe's desertion , just a thought really ...........
The saddest part of this story is that it's true. And it's a shame that her death is what she's best known for because she was absolutely brilliant. If she hadn't killed herself when she did, she could have published so many more fabulous works. R.I.P. Sylvia Plath.
@mykeyshua I really agree with the fact that she should continue her life w/ her kids and w/ writing, but u see that was not enough she needed love, warmth;everything started from her father's death, that's why she became so sensitive, so jealous. I strongly believe that she could continue her life with Al Alvarez, he would've been her medicine, she could've seen Al as Ted had seen Assia- excuse my mistakes, my native language is romanian one.
@mykeyshua True. Many men screw over women, and women cheat on men. But to commit suicie was down to her father. Read "daddy". He was cruel and never love dher, he made it clear to her she was not loved by him. Her father killed Sylvia.

I agree people don't realise how serious depression can be.
I know everyone blames Sylvia but if you think about it there are mothers out there who drove themselves and their children into a river and drowned.
Sylvia made sure he children were safe from the fumes and that someone would be there soon to find them.
She loved her kids enough to let them carry on living even if she couldn't herself.

poor Sylvia.
I honestly think that she just needed to be loved; needed to be rescued.
She thought her savior was Ted, but he fucked her over literally.
I think her one true love were her children, dad (maybe), and writing.
