Time Out
pressDon't come here for a stylised period drama that glosses over either the class gap or her mental health.
The Guardian
pressIt 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.
The New York Times

Screen Daily
pressIn 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.
