Description
In 1929, Virginia Woolf is starting to write her novel, 'Mrs. Dalloway, ' under the care of doctors and family. In 1951, Laura Brown is planning for her husband's birthday, but is preoccupied with reading Woolf's novel. In 2001, Clarrisa Vaughn is planning an award party for her friend, an author dying of AIDS. Taking place over one day, all three stories are interconnected with the novel: one is writing it, one is reading it, and one is living it.

The best evocation I have seen of the heart-weighting, inexorable undertow of clinical depression and its too-frequent endzone.

Not knowing anything about the life of Virginia Woolf, I was lost from the beginning with the time shifting narratives. The dialogue was much too slow to keep my interest. The actresses were subdued (fitting the subject matter), and didn't inspire me.
