It's not as bold as that trio, but it's elevated by some adroit dialogue and knockout performances from Gemma Arterton as Vita Sackville-West, and Elizabeth Debicki as Virginia Woolf.

Maybe dramatizing their correspondence would have worked if it had been paired with convincing dialogue.

This peek into a famous love story makes the audience a participant in the affair, inspiring questions of perspective and truth in love and art, where the only truth worth anything is one deeply felt.

It's never a good sign for your rulebreaking romance when the occasional bits of dialogue between wayward wives and their sad husbands is more human, more feeling, and more emotionally intelligible than that between the lesbian lovers.

The movie's editing undermines both lead performances. Scenes end abruptly, or seem set up for a moment that never arrives.

Based on what we see here, the work was almost absurdly greater than the inspiration.
