Review of Sylvia

Sylvia (2003)
7/10
saved by acting?
11 July 2004
I decided to watch this movie since Gwyneth Paltrow is starring as Sylvia and i heard some good reviews on the movie.To be honest, I don't read poetry at all, so I have no idea how Sylvia is talented and admired in the field.When i was watching this movie, i was just so drawn into Gwyneth's acting.Well.., the story itself is, as you know, telling how Sylvia was straggling with the relationship with her husband and how much poem meant to her life.I could see Sylvia's depression in her life through Gwyneth's great acting.The story goes kind of slowly and really focuses on Sylvia.I hope to see some development in the character of her husband, but considering to make her life into 2hrs movie, I cannot say anything about that.Personally, I liked this movie and enjoyed it, but I understand some people don't like it.If you can be satisfied with a great acting, you should check this out.
