  • Virginia Woolf had a WILD sense of humour but you would never have known it from this film. Not only was Nicole Kidman miscast, she completely defined the inaccurate modern perception of this genius writer. This film is didatic and pretentious, if you want to know about LIFE, you don't hear characters actually tell you about the thing itself... you explore te work and the unsaid, the unseen. This film is just sugarcoated with cliché.

  • Daldry's discussion of life, in this particular film, is by no means restricted to conversation. There are many "speechless" scenes that "talk" about life: the death of a bird contradicted by the blooming nature; the significance of this simple event to the people who witness it. The choices that peoole make, the bravery to make a decision that will make your life (and the lives of the people who care about you, as well) fall apart; responsibility in contradiction with freedom and happiness. (+)

  • (+)Apart from that, the way you want to talk about life is a matter of choice. You can't say that "this is wrong and that's the way he should do it". Why should he?(+)

  • (+)Finally, the film is not a Virginia Woolf biography. It's a study of a certain phase of her life, in which she considers committing suicide. The fact that you can't find a single humorous line in the script (and not only in Virginia's words), is again a matter of choice; (+)

  • (+)nevertheless, Kidman's Woolf shows clear evidence of a sharp mind. It's the way she argues, the way she stares, the nervousness of her movement. You can't say if the portrait of Virginia is accurate or not, but, then again, this is not the point. What you can say, is that the way she chooses to play is an interesting and attractive study of an ambiguous, dark but surely charismatic personality.

  • This trailer isn't about love. It's about death.

  • a movie, so beautifully painful... yet, so painfully beautiful

  • Dear Lenord

    to look life in the face, always, to look life in the face, and to know it for what it is, at last, to know it, to love it for what it is, and then to put it away
