'Vita & Virginia': Get A Room (Of Your Own), You Two
The film, based on Eileen Atkins' play about the correspondence between Virginia Woolf and Virginia Sackville-West, is a standard British period drama that tries, and fails, to be something more.
"Does she make you want to write, or to live?" The "she" in this question, posed by a minor character in , is Vita Sackville-West, a very successful writer a century ago. The "you" is Virginia Woolf, whose literary reputation has held up much better. If not for her affair with Virginia, Vita would be largely forgotten today.
