Kathy P I was disappointed. I haven't read the book and in reality the movie should be able to stand alone. It lacked any real depth of characters, an opportunity missed in portraying PTSD, depression, women's limited choices, sexuality and unrequited love. A remake might be able to do wonders with the basic story background this movie gave. Hopefully the book would provide more depth, but possibly not, however you shouldn't need to read the book to understand the characters of a movie.

Slow Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/25/17 Full Review Audience Member This adaptation of Virginia Woolf's signature novel of the same name is a beautiful narrative about the titular matriarch's reflections on her choices made in her younger life one afternoon before her evening party, marred only by a peculiar subplot involving a shell-shocked soldier. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Watched the first half twice as E fell asleep the first time .... actually it's a difficult read turned into a difficult film, so a second look at the opening was a good way to get a handle on the structure and intention. It's well acted and no doubt true to the novel, which was no doubt groundbreaking in its day. It's more about message than character: and it didn't really speak to me from this time and place. The trials and tribulations of posh folk in the Twenties - nope. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member I liked "The Hours" better, but this is a good movie. Its set in the period between WWI and WWII, and to me it seems Victorian, so realize that. Understand that it focuses on two people who don't know each other: Septimus a shell shocked veteran, and Clarissa an upper class housewife. Also understand that the movie jumps back and forth between the past and the present of Clarissa's life. If you understand that you will be understand the movie. Kind of a downer, but makes you think about what is important to people. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
