Hi Jean, I’ve seen Atkins’s play, which was produced in NYC ten or so years ago. (With Atkins as Woolf and Vanessa Redgrave as Vita.)
It was created almost entirely out of diary entries and letters. Other Woolfians agreed at the time that it was brilliant.
If this film is built on that play (as the article states), there is at least a good chance it will be interesting, maybe exciting.

Best, Molly

I'm always afraid that this version will supplant whatever truth can be discerned from the letters and diaries. I hated Michael Cunningham's book and could not bear to see the film. I  felt it was parasitic and deeply false.
