joSep 11, 2018wow imagine falling in love so deeply with someone that you write one of the most groundbreaking pieces in english literature and become a literary icon. the love between women is too powerful.

bryonyAug 20, 2019“you have as much of me as i have to give” hypnotic, but still too inaccessible. still, i can’t fault it much because it’s so uniquely well made compared to most films in this sub genre. the score especially breathes life into every scene, and elizabeth and gemma bring…

on one hand, i'm virginia in a sense that we're both tall, depressed, dramatic, artistic, shy, and awkward bottom, but on the other hand, vita thirsting over virginia the moment she sees her dancing with messy hair? valid, relatable, mood, and kin. this movie is so horny i…
valNov 13, 2019if this wasn’t gay i’d rate it lower but what can i say... gemma arterton topping 6’3 elizabeth debicki really got me
emApr 4, 2020“how little we know anyone. only movements. gestures. nothing connected... continuous... profound” two things are true: yes, i needed a good cry. and yes, this is now an emotional support movie of sorts for me, whether i like it or not. sometimes the quality of the content…

- Ocean is "meh" onVita & Virginia
Boring
faithy taytay likedVita & VirginiaThis was a fine movie and I enjoyed watching it, I just didn’t feel as attached to it as I would’ve wanted. Not quite sure why. But Virginia in that first scene/outfit??????? OMG SHE COULD HAVE HER WAY WITH ME I FEAR!!!!!
Ivory Uk. lovedVita & VirginiaSapphics from the past centuries are either married to a man, have brilliant minds, good in writing, say things only them can understand, romantic, dramatic, depressed, powerful, unstoppable, or all of what I just said.
- Jose Guerreiro lovedVita & Virginia
The complexity of their relationship, of their feelings for each other. It might not be historical accurate in some points but it’s beautifully made. Oh Virginia to be a writer deeply in love.
Lilly likedVita & VirginiaIt was good. The pacing held up, visuals were sharp, and the performances felt authentic. Some scenes dragged, but overall, it left a strong impression.
Elissa is "meh" onVita & VirginiaIt was a good film to show the life of Virginia Woolf’s life. Her story was interspersed, but the film didn’t grip me. It was worth the watch though

Two authors/poets, who are WOMEN, and one of them is Elizabeth debicki, kill me what a movie i cried and laughed and i enjoyed it
Jennifer Facenda likedVita & VirginiaIdk how historically accurate this movie is, but I don’t think anybody’s watching it for the historical accuracy.
Barborka lovedVita & Virginianení to pro každého. ale jako milovnice Virginie jsem si to nemohla nechat ujít a nezklamalo.

Vita Virginia may be about two fascinating characters, but it’s also case of words, paradoxically, obscuring the real people who wrote them.

It’s always extra frustrating when a biopic falls short, especially if its subject is as compelling as the relationship between two brilliant iconoclasts like Virginia Woolf and Vita Sackville-West.

It is a film of (somewhat) mutual admiration and clever, clever words, the product of “a wickedly brilliant mind” (Woolf) and a popular poettess and wit, descended from Gypsies (Isabella Rosellini plays Vita’s disapproving Gypsy grande dame mother), a “a sapphist” with scandalous appetites.
