My brief review of the film
A reasonably well done and fairly well acted biopic of T. S. Eliot, the film is at times delightful to watch, but it is always lacking. The information it presents about Eliot feels insufficient, as his background feels uncomfortably unknown, and there is also no real indication of the setting and time of the film. It is a bit long too, not always be interesting, and really a bit ordinary at times. But it is still well acted and it does have something to say about the position of women in society. Harris and Richardson were both nominated for Oscars for their performance, but Dafoe is the one who really shines here.
Artistically Done
I love this film if only for the actors! Willem Dafoe has always been one of my favorites and his portrayal of T.S. Eliot is wonderful, but Miranda Richardson’s role as Vivienne Haigh-Wood Eliot is phenomenal. At first you have sympathy for Eliot because you think he’s married to a nut case though we’re never really told what’s wrong with Vivienne other than “women’s problems”. However, as the movie moves on and you listen to the occasional narration of Vivienne’s brother Maurice, you turn your sympathy towards Vivienne. Remembering Tom Eliot is an American, it’s tedious watching him turn into the perfect Englishman as he’d always wanted. I do love the period costumes, cars and decor; very beautiful scenery as well. It’s a rather sad story of secrets, denial and betrayal and in the end you feel left unsatisfied because once Vivienne is committed, she never gets out. One must wonder if she didn’t choose to stay by her own accord even after being seen by an American Dr. who questions her long stay at the asylum. Tom has apparently moved on and must not have had regrets because Vivienne tells her brother that “I haven’t’ heard from Tom in ten years”. It is at this point Maurice realizes what a terrible mistake he’s made and is deeply ashamed of his decision to go along with Tom in having his own sister committed; a woman who was obviously very intelligent. Vivienne is quite an interesting character that leaves you wondering what she’ll do next whereas Tom is most predictable. I do recommend this film.
