Did you know
- TriviaFrieda Hughes, Sylvia Plath's daughter and literary executor, didn't allow the producers to access to her mother's poetry. She also publicly denounced the project in a published poem of her own.
- GoofsWhen Ted and Sylvia are in bed together and she is discussing her suicide attempt, you can clearly see Daniel Craig's tattoo through the make up on his shoulder and Gwyneth Paltrow's hair net to which her wig is attached.
- Quotes
Sylvia: [to Ted, after making love] We're not even two people. Even before we met, we were just these two halves, walking around with big gaping holes in the shape like the other person. And when we found each other we were finally whole. And then it was as if we couldn't stand being happy so we ripped ourselves in half again.
Featured review
Less is not always more...
This is a movie that probably should have been longer. Unless you are an expert on Sylvia Plath, not enough information is provided on her earlier childhood, fathers death, etc, that would explain her preoccupation with suicide and death. I understand that Ms Plath's family would not cooperate with this film, and it shows.
