Debicki above all else


Vita and Virginia (2018)

Directed by Chanya Button this film based on real events stars Gemma Arterton and Elizabeth Debicki. We follow the affair between writers Vita Sackville-West and Virginia Woolf in 1920s England.

By a long margin the best thing about this film is the performance from Elizabeth Debicki which is amazing. To be honest I found it hard to engage with the plot, the characters are so aloof as to be unsettling. This film might be based on a play but it does a good job of not being one of those play adaptations that is trapped in a handful of rooms.

3/5
