Effective version of the book. Good double feature with The Hours.

Vividly conveys the message of Woolf's novel- despite social and psychological differences, we are all connected.

This movie is another from the 1997 Toronto International Film Festival. Its not a bad film, even though I only give it 2 1/2 stars, its just not a good movie for me. I am sure any women over 50 might enjoy this as she looks back at her life and wonders about the decisions she made. That's what the film is about,
