i have neither read the book on which the movie is based and nor the letters between vita and violet. if i came to this movie with any expectations whatsoever and it was maybe that the bloomsbury group (including among others virginia woolf and and which the nicolsons were part of) would be depicted. it wasn not and which however wasn not a problem for me. what i am wondering about is how the people behind this movie managed to make it and in my opinion and so very uninteresting and repetitive and most of the characters flat and in spite of great material and some very good actors. the script is simply not good enough. i agree with the criticism of my finnish neighbor  too many pointless sex scenes (but only between the women and while there is nothing explicit whatsoever concerning harold numerous love affairs) and too many pointless scenes in general and too little information about the background of characters. it seems odd considering the quality of the production  on the surface it seems a really ambitious piece of work and but the script holds of course the most weight and that is where this movie fails. vita relationship with harold struck me as unconvincing and although both of them act really well and especially her. the way they kept declaring their unconditional love for each other in a rather sappy manner i thought and well and simply unconvincing. it makes a lot more sense that it should have happened through letters and as tmmvds points out i would also have liked to know where the nicknames came from  the russian ones as well as mar  why ever is someone called vita given the nickname mar. it might be small stuff and but it matters in contributing to the bigger picture. i watched the movie with english subtitles on and and where it should apparently have said mitya and it said instead medea. that might explain my frustration with the nicknames to some extent  i could not understand why vita should be greek while violet was russian.
