Um þessa kvikmynd

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.

Einkunnir og umsagnir

Enough of this tired femiNAZI junk. The films story is a one note device and the writing terrible. SEE IT THOUGH since the ensemble cast is unreal. Ed Harris and Streep are beyond amazing.

This is one of my favorite movies, made from one of my favorite books, about one of my favorite authors. Whew! A lot to live up to, but it delivers. Cunningham's novel delivers a fictionalized biopic of Virginia Woolf in tryptic -- showing that Virginia's book Mrs Dalloway is truly a timeless story and can be translated through the generations. I loved the little tweaks from one generation to the next, and the breadcrumbs tying the three women together.

This is one of my favourite movies of all time. Nicole Kidman is excellent as Virginia Woolf and the way the women's stories are told really makes for an intense and emotional ride. The soundtrack is amazing too. I had to buy it. Can't recommend this movie enough!
