Vita and Virginia
The Press Reviews
Button has hit on a topic that will draw in both literary and LGBTQ audiences, but it lacks the electricity to go the extra mile theatrically. Full Review
In this mannered literary period piece, the story of the love affair between Virginia Woolf and Vita Sackville-West is too hampered by tonal and pacing issues to ever ignite. Full Review
This is a stranger and more intriguing film than it really has a right to be... Full Review
"Vita & Virginia" takes a passionate, real-life affair between two enormously gifted writers and proceeds to throttle the life out of it. Full Review
It is a good, honest performance and, for all that the movie itself is brittle, self-conscious and perhaps a little absurd at times, there is a vehement, urgent idealism. Full Review
Don't come here for a stylised period drama that glosses over either the class gap or her mental health. Full Review
