I'm no expert in the real history of this relationship - albeit well aware of the blame attached to Hughes, the background to this being focussed on in this admittedly attractive looking rendition. Previous suicide attempts by Plath are discussed by the character, but given this and what was inevitably a condition that she had, diagnosed or otherwise - is it right to paint her as a jealous housewife driven to despair, or as Hughes creating the reason for her suicide? The reality is inevitably much more nuanced and richly detailed, but this seems to be enough for this film. Both Paltrow and Craig are well cast on looks, Craig can't seem to stick to the Yorkshire accent however. There is a drab, greyness to it at times that adds to the feel - but really think Plath at least deserves more.
