Mrs Dalloway
Critically-acclaimed adaptation of the Virginia Woolf novel of the same name. It's a lovely summer day and Clarissa Dalloway is preparing for an elaborate party. During the day of her party, she remembers another summer in the past, when she was a beautiful, vivacious and much-courted young woman. Her preparations are interrupted however, by the unexpected arrival of a former suitor from that long-ago summer - a once-dashing man she thought she would marry but ultimately rejected. As the day of the party unfolds, Mrs. Dalloway's life also becomes strangely intertwined with a young man she never meets, but whose tragic fate strikes a chord of truth, deep in her soul, that she cannot deny.

Sadly, this film is a turkey if ever I saw one. Don't be fooled by the positive reviews. It is hard to convey just how dull it is.

Vanessa Dellaway portrays the beautiful Clarissa Dellaway in this delightful if somewhat lightweight story. Perhaps I feel it is lightweight because because ...
