Movie: Sylvia



This movie about Sylvia Plath and her husband starred Gwenyth Paltrow. Good flick although I don't agree with the director's chosen way to expose Sylvia's mental breakdowns. The acting was too dramatic in this sense. I didn't feel like I knew the person and felt their breakdown. I felt like I watched it from the outside. Maybe there was an historical reason for directing it like this, but it didn't make for the most compelling movie. If I want to see breakdowns I have most of society. Anyhow, enjoyable movie.
