關於這部電影

The story of three women in different times, related only by a parallel in their personal lives. One, present day, throwing a party for a writer friend suffering from AIDS. Another living in 1949 Los Angeles, suffering as a young wife and mother. The last, Virginia Woolf, writing "Mrs. Dalloway" and contemplating suicide. Based on Michael Cunningham's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel.

評分和評論

WOW, one of the best movies of all time in my opinion. Such beautiful stories of 3 uniquely different women from separate time periods and a look at their very different lives but also at what at their core connects them together. Nicole Kidman is absolutely phenomenal as Virginia Wolfe, and seeing her performance is clear why she won the Best Actress Oscar for this film. Julianne Moore blew me away with her touching, heartfelt portrayal of a woman trapped unable to live open as her true self.

Absolutely perfect. The music, the script, the flawless acting. That Nicole Kidman manages to best Meryl Streep and Julianne Moore with her 26 minutes on screen is quite an accomplishment. Her performance here is completely devastating. The moment with the dead bird and Virginia Woolf still haunts me. An Academy Award, well-deserved. Bravo.

A motion picture about the choices we make. It turns our heads and by doing so teaches empathy for those we are so quick to wrongly judge. We see the world isn't chock full of black and white choices. Rather, at times we take the "wrong" choice to save ourselves.
